Hi everyone,

Hope all is well.

Can someone explain to me how I might...

1.)  read in an email address from an email emailed to me from my web site
using "Form mail".  (For example to auto respond etc)  Unfortuantely the
return email is my account i.e., info@mywebsite.com so I need the users email
from the form field containing the individuals email address.

2.)  Read in other form mail fields that are contained in the body of the
messages I recieve and as of now is delimited by ":"  I suppose I could
format the fileds by any means neccessary to work best with outlook 2003.

3.)  I am not getting the form mail with a field on each new line but rather
one after another so I placed an text delimiter to separate the fields.  Is
this a result of a particular setting in Outlook  "Display settings or
reading pane format" or something?  I notice the format is different in email
views other than outlook.  I guess it's not recognising the return or end of
line charatacter.  Can I setup outlook so that I can view the form mail view
format correctly?  One per line like it is suppose to be?

Please allow my thanks in advance for your gracious help.

Regards,

Sean

See if your mail form can be set up to include the user's mail address as the reply-to address on the message. If not, see response to #2.

You'll have to parse the text of the message body. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=89 for sample code.
