    I need to send out html forms as email attachments.
    These htmls forms are set to mail the reults of the form back to the sender of the "survey" form. This is done by using the following code:

    Code:
    <form action= "mailto:mail@mail.com?subject=sadfasfd" method= "POST" enctype= "text/plain ">
    The problem is that the results sent back are sometimes blank even when someone enters information. Could this be related to firewall/antivirus software or internet explorer settings ? Is there any solution to combating this ??

    orion_114--On the OE Tools|Options|Send tab, the sender would have to check the HTML button under Mail Sending Format. You might check your setting for that, too. And you on your Security tab, in the Downloaded Images section, is the box "Block images..." checked?

    Would be better & easier and more efficient to just send a link to a hosted webpage that contains a mail form that is posted to a php or other server side mail script to ensure that input data is always sent.

    Welshjim, I am sending the html file as an attachment. This response generated by the html page should be straight text not html. It would look like this ...

    I have tried changing the OE settings but it doen't seem to affect it.

    TonyT, I would love to host this somewhere but I dont have much of an IT budget to work with so I went for the cheap option.
