Try adding 'name' attribute to the <html:text> tag....
<html:text name="EmailForm" property="emailAddress" size="35"/>
The <html:form> tag will expose (or create a new) the ActionForm associated
with the mapping with a value of 'org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN'. This
is the default 'name' for <html> tags if you don't specify one (which you
arnt). The action mapping on your form is "/enquiry/email.do" - not the
"/enquiry/showEmail" that you are showing us in your struts-config.
My bet is the mapping for "/enquiry/email.do" is still in your
struts-config.xml associated with a different form - so the <html:form> tag
is creating a new 'empty' form, with no email address and thats what your
<html:text> tag is picking up - not your new form.
