use this:
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="email">

that's it. and you need to add a send button (and reset if you want) at the end.
<input type=submit value="send">
optional:
<input type=reset value="Reset">

I have been working with this program myself this morning. Is there a way to access the script that sends the formatted email back to me? I need it to be HTML-ified when it arrives, for easier pasting into our site. (We use forms for bulletin board submissions, site registration, that sort of thing - traffic is high, and it really cuts down on behind the scenes turnaround time for me.)

I am currently accomplishing this by utilizing cgiemail on another server, but it's a bit of a Cinderella arrangement, and is set to expire after a bit . . . would really like to bring all my "work" home to FQ http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif!!

...I don't post much, but just gotta add how much I love FQ and the whole "family" here!!

Hey Mandi,

The information for custimization that is allowed on the pre-installed mailform is at http://www.aota.net/Tutorials/Mail.shtml

If you need to go above and beyond what this form will allow you would need to install one within your own cgi-bin. You'll find many to choose from at http://www.cgi-resources.com

Thanks for the kind words all http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif
