I've done this type of thing using Javascript on the originating page:
(BTW: I'm not sure that fieldname.text is valid outside of IE.)
<script>
function saveValue(valNum) {
document.form[0].regionEmail.value =
document.form[0].region.options[valNum].text;
}
</script>
<input type="hidden" name="regionEmail">
<select name="region" onchange="saveValue(this.selectedIndex)">
<option...
</select>

> <select name="Region">
> <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" selected>Africa</option>
> <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Asia & Pacific</option>
> <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Eastern South America</option>

> Region Email
> Africa [EMAIL PROTECTED]

> For processing purposes, I'm ONLY using the value (the email address) but
> for display purposes, and since there's close to 50 regions in the list, I
> need to see the label as well so the client will know if they selected the
