Is there any way to remove the equals sign in a form to email submit? For instance, when the form is filled out and the information from the form is sent to the body of the email, it says

Customer Name: =Jesse

is there a way to remove that equals sign?
And also, is there a way to put a space between each entry?

Any help is extremely appreciated!

How are you generating the email? Perl, php, asp, cf, mailto link, etc?

Thanks for the reply Deziner.
I am using an action="mailto:" in an .asp page.
 
Using the mailto action, you are stuck. The best thing would to use asp, php, cf, etc to generate the email from a form post to a script. There are plenty of free mail sending scripts available on the net. You are using a client side method to send so you have no control over the = sign.

WebHedon, I wouldn't use the "mailto:" option, if you look at your results, you'd see that the email will return in contactination form. Like:name=bob+address=123 street+age=24+..., kinda hard to read and understand.
I would instead choose CGI, PHP, ASP. If you have a web host then ASP or CGI support is generaly thrown into the package, look into it, its much simpler and better to use.

It's no big deal really...
