How to Email web version of form when clicking submit (possible?)

[Bill]

I want the user to fill in the required information and upon clicking
"submit" the form is emailed out accordingly as an Exported "Web" version of
the form (.mht), not a .xsn file.

In other words, I want the email recipient to receive the attached form in
an uneditable, clean looking, version.

There is not out of the box way to do this. You will have to manually convert
the form to .mht and then on submit, send that file to the user.

Well that sucks. Ok, in simple terms, how can I make it so that the form
that is emailed to the recipients is "read only".

This is pretty common.

Typically I just copy the original view to another one and then make the new
view read-only. In 2007, you can do this with a click in the view
properties. Otherwise I would change the controls to expressions or make them
read-only individually in their properties.

Then you either use an existing field which is always changed on submit as
your conditional or add a field (default false, on submit set to true) and
use this in your open rules where field is true switch views to read-only.
