Does anyone know of a way to pre-format the results email? I need to add some free text to the results sent via email for two reasons, 1st to clarify the data to the receipient and 2nd, as a verification method the user has read the disclaimers on the form. I editied the _private/form_results.htm file, but the form seems to disregard this file. Any help is greatly appreciated

FrontPage has no specific features of this type. To get
the kind of results you describe, you would have to write
your own ASP or ASP.NET page, or locate a third-party
solution.

Many Web hosts have third-party form mailers already
installed on their servers. You can generally find out
about these by browsing the host's support pages.

If the text does not vary, is short and not private, it could be added in
the form as a hidden field
<input type="hidden" name="clarify" value="whatever">
The content would be limited to 255 characters (approx. 40 average English
words)

Please can you shed more lights on this? This is the exact same problem I am having. I really would like to get a form email result look beautiful that just the fields that were answered by the users. What i mean is this for example

Form

Name : [ Form Input Field

Email Result : I will like to se

Name : John Do

Instead of

John Do

Thanks
