Sendig e-Mail throught Form(s)

[jacsdad]

I need to capture the e-Mail Address the user enters into a form and use tat
address as From:. The e-Mail goes to a secure eMail handles and only
authorized users can submit mail to it.

Also: is there va way to format the e-Mail message so it reads in a user
friendly format?

Thanks ahead of time.

Most hosts wiill now not allow mail to be sent from addresses they don't
host (to stop spam being sent through their servers), so what you are
wanting, whilst possible, probably wont be allowed.

One partial way around this is the use the 'ReplyTo' property of the email.
If using an FP form, right-click on the form, select 'Form Properties -
Email Results' and add the form field name of the users address in the
'Reply-to line'. This at least means that you can reply to an email off your
website without having to cut and past the users address.

In terms of the format you can create an HTML email, which, if done in
script can be laid out however you like. FP is more limited but go to 'Form
Properties - File Results' then see the 'File Format' options at the bottom
of the dialog box. Experiment with the three HTML options there.
