Taco,

If the client supports HTML...

That's a big "If".... If you really are *that* time strapped why not just link to a blank form where they fill their information in the blanks and then it just emails you a dump of the form struct?

IMO this not worse for usability but in fact much better.... how many people have filled in online forms on a webpage, and how many have followed a neat structure in an email? Hell, I haven't never followed a neat structure in an email.

It least with you a form you have a consitent format... Add a wee bit of qForm javascript validation (or cfform) then at least your data entry person can sleep at night.

cmon Taco, you can't call urself a g33k unless you do a little bit of coding!.... :-)

Taco Fleur spoke the following wise words on 27/10/2003 12:41 PM EST:

If the client supports HTML and I would neatly format everything like for example

<p>
First name: <firstName>Taco</firstName><br/>
Last name: <lastName>Fleur</lastName><br/>
etc....
</p>

And the client would hit reply, and lets say correct his last name and send it back, I could then parse this.. That's if this crazy lunatic idea of mine would even come close to working ;-))
