Form submission help - Please

I have a form that that allows a user to click submit and an email is sent. That works all fine, but the submitted data in the email is impossible to read. Is there a way to make it so that the form submitted data is readable?

I have looked around the web and here, but all the answers I have seen do not really answer my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Can you post the code, and some of the example garbage?

That's the issue: What code? Am I supposed to be using Perl, ASP, Cold Fusion, Python, Jello?

Re: Form submission help - Please

You have a form and email is sent "that works all fine". Yet the email is "impossible to read". Now when we ask you for the code you have no idea what code is. No wonder google was no help to you

Let's start with a pointer to the page that is sending the mail. Maybe we can figure out what your markup and code is doing.

Sorry about the delay, project side tracked for a bit.

Never said, "I have no idea what code is", thank you very much. I said, "That's the issue: What code? Am I supposed to be using Perl, ASP, Cold Fusion, Python, Jello?", as in: What TYPE of code should I be using for this project (if any at all)?

This is the HTML I am using: form method="post" action="mailto:thisguy@thiscompany.com"

I suggest you use this version of FormMail:

Bobcat-
So far FormMail looks good. Do you have any experience with this program (script)?

Re: Form submission help - Please

The script works well. I'm using a modified version from my web hosting provider. I believe the big concern is preventing people from modifying the recipient. I think the standard script has security features to restrict who the mail can be sent to.

I'm using the following fields:
    •recipient•subject•required•env_report•print_blank_fields•return_link_url•return_link_title•bgcolor•text_color•link_color•vlink_color•alink_color•realname•email•comments
Hope this helps!

Re: Form submission help - Please

Thanks again Bobcat!

I am using this only internally, and we do not host any web sites externally, so I should be good with the defaults as well as a few of the ones mentioned in your post.
