Topic: Format layout of e-mail
Posted By: sccs
Subject: Format layout of e-mail
Date Posted: 21 October 2005 at 10:43am
We have an area on our website that has quite a large form for staff to fill in. The user then adds their e-mail address and the recipients e-mail address and then sends the form as  an e-mail. The problem is the formating of the e-mail when it arrives. It does not look very good. I need it to be layed out like the form. Is there a way of doing this?
I am using formmail to send the form. Code below:
 
 
<%@ Language = vbscript%>
<%option explicit %>
<%server.scripttimeout = 600 %>
<%

'Referrer's Array is defined here. Enter the valid domains which may use this script.
