Formatting form results

I've had to do a form for someone, which emails the results to a specified
address, tested it all and it works fine. However the resulting email is a
bit messy, and considering the results from the form are complicated enough,
it needs tidying up.

Are there any commands, tips, tricks, help I can use to tidy it all up? Line
breaks etc, putting in a line of "***********" too would be good to seperate
sections.

Any help would be appreciated

FrontPage really doesn't have any features like this. You
can rearrange the order of the form fields but that's
about it.

For more richly-formatted mail, you would need to write
ASP or ASP.NET code, or locate a third-party product.

doh...

ok.. if I put cells/rows between sections of results... would that show up
as spaces?

and is there anyway I could get a line of "*******" or "------------" by
making a field that wouldn't require filling in but would show up in the
results?

my kids argued for ages tonight and I had to shout at them and I;m still
stressed and they're asleep happy as lambs.....

not pertinent to the FP stuff I know.. just had to get it off my chest

many thanks for your reply though
