    E-mail results from a form

I have a form created with multi-line fields (textarea).
When filling in the fields the text automatically wraps
to the next line in the field (which is what it's
supposed to do) but when the form is submitted and sends
the results to an E-mail address it takes all the lines
in the field and displays it as one big long line in the
E-mail results.  Is there anyway to get the E-mail
results to wrap the text just like it wraps when typing
it in on the form?  Or is there a way to force a user to
hit the 'Enter' key in the field to go to the next line?

The form was created in FP 2002 and the server is running
IIS 4.0.

Thanks...

Unfortunately no. The server extensions just dump the fields to the email
handler and send it off that way. Since there aren't any carriage return or
line feed characters in the field results, it will just get dumped as one
long text string.

Hope this helps,
