I have set up my asp formail but the email output i receive is not well formatted as cgi formmail like the font and text size and there is no text as saying. This e-mail was submitted by (someone@site.com) on Friday, December 3, 2004 at 17:30:00 how do i code the formmail file to have this?

below is the code that is generating the email

'If there were no errors, build the email note and send it.

if UBound(errorMsgs) < 0 then

'Build table of form fields and values.

body = "<table border=""0"" cellpadding=""2"" cellspacing=""0"">" & vbCrLf
for each name in fieldOrder
body = body _
& "<tr valign=""top"">" _
& "<td><b>" & name & ":</b></td>" _
& "<td>" & Request.Form(name) & "</td>" _
& "</tr>" & vbCrLf
next
body = body & "</table>" & vbCrLf

'Add a table for any requested environmental variables.

if Request.Form("_envars") <> "" then
body = body _
& "<p>&nbsp;</p>" & vbCrLf _

end if

end if

end if %>

I have tried to put a font face before (" & name & ":) but when i try out it there was this error

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0401'

Expected end of statement

/script/form.asp, line 139
& "<td><font face="Lucida Grande, helvetica, Trebuchet MS, verdana, sans-serif">" & name & ":</font></td>" _
-------------------^

You need to escape your quotes.
For quotes that are inside quotes, double them up

& "<td><font face=""Lucida Grande, helvetica, Trebuchet MS, verdana, sans-serif"">" & name & ":</font></td>" _

i notice that the senders email in the email i receive is the same email address i ask the form to send to.I remember in cgi formmail that the senders email is the user's email which he typed into the email field.How do i change that?

'- Customization of these values is required, see documentation. -----------

referers = Array("www.site.com","site.com")
mailComp = "CDOSYS"
smtpServer = "mail.site.com"
fromAddr = "user@site.com"

'- End required customization section. -------------------------------------

I tried to change fromAddr = "user@site.com" to fromAddr = "" but it did not work.

Thanks for the reply it is working

It looks like you're using a customised script written by someone else. Without looking at the whole script, I couldn't say for sure.

You'd probably be better off learning how to use the raw CDOSYS component. It's hyper easy to use, and there's loads of info about it on the net.
