Hi,
I have a couple of forms for my site that email the information visitors enter. When I get the email if is a long string of the information, that I then have to transpose in a readable form before I pass it to the sales department. Is there any way to change the format of the email to be more reader friendly?
Thanks

You have to use a script like FormMail, which "sorts" that information by fields in your email.

However, you should try using a "Secure script", something like NMS-formail. Just do a search in google.

Let me know if this helps, I would post URLS, but then they would toss me from the boards!

Cheers,
Andrew.

What cgi are you using? PHP, ASP, Java, etc...

If you are using PHP, put the data from your $_POST/$_GET variables into outher variables with formatting, like this:
$to = "sales@mycompany.com";
$temp = $_POST['cust_ln'];
$from = "From: $temp";
$temp = $_POST['cust_fn'];
$from .= ",$temp";
etc...
That should work...
