formmail question

[njb]

I've created a few forms that are emailed and the message that is sent is not very attractive and can be hard to read. Is there any way to format the results?

TIA

Is this a JavaScript question? I fail to see how it's related. Also, what "formmail" script are you talking about? If it's the famous on in Perl, this would belong in the Perl forum.

Sorry. I was hoping to find a Javascript solution. I'll try posting on the perl forum.

That may not be necessary, since I know Perl well enough to help you with your problem, but you can't run JavaScript inside someone's email to format results. The output results to someone's email would have to be formatted by the script. Can you post the relevant Perl code?

I don't have something to show you because I am trying to figure out how to handle a new form. In the past I created a form with a submit button on the html page and used a CGI mailer script that just lists all the form field names in the body of the email message and is very ugly. Some users can handle it and some can't. I might have to make it a filloutable pdf form. But was hoping for a different solution. I just thought I would ask if anybody knew of alternative solutions. TIA

So you're saying you cannot modify the mailer script?

I could modify it if I knew how but I don't and it's more than I can take on right now. What I would like is to have the email body look more like the form itself and that's beyond my coding knowledge. I'll search the web a bit more and see if I can find something else. This has helped me formulate my questions better. Thanks for your time.
