I'll paste you a copy below. The webpage author creates a form which calls the script. User inputs his data (which is completely flexible: the author can create any form field he wants, and names those fields in the HTML) and hits the "Send" button. The script generates an email from this and sends it to the email address specified in the HTML. Anyway, I'm getting a slew of these emails and would like to import them directly (either to Filemaker or Entourage) rather than have to task volunteers with manual data input. It's getting to be a big pain. Why formmail doesn't just output to a tab-delimited text file or an Excel file I don't know. But it doesn't. And this is what we've got. As I said, the output we receive is pasted below. Note that unless all fields require input, the exact fields which are filled out will vary from email to email based on how much of the form they choose to fill out. But whoever programmed that Access script figured out a way to do it, so it must be possible.
