I am getting like one out of every 10 emails as I am testing this form. The emails I do get look horrible..is there a way I can just have PLAIN old text? I tried inputing the fields and also inputting [form_results], I never get the email to see if it works..what am I missing?
thanks,

So you were getting one out of ten emails and now your getting none. I think a little more clarification and a link to the form would help.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I tried several things off and on and there is no telling what caused it to not send me the email. I just went back to the form to see if it works (again)...I DID get the email this time...but yesterday I did the same thing about 5 times and never got the email. I did not do anything to the form between the last time I filled it out (and got no email) and this time. It all started breaking when I tried to take all the html garbage out of the notification message....so I had to hunt down the original code and put it back..still didn't work...until this morning...so now I'm back to the html email ....how can I get it TEXT only?? it does not render correctly for people who are using text only setting on their email.
thanks

I just submitted to your form 3 times. Did you receive any of those messages?

Yes I did. About an hour or so before you sent those, I sent three also. The first one got to me in about 15 seconds, the second one about 10 minutes, the third I never got. I am now getting them consistantly (so it seems)..what could cause this?

Is the E-mail you are using a school E-Mail address?

YES..that was my first thought..we do have tight filters...so I plunked in my gmail address and never got anything there...I also had another person as TO and me as BCC..the other person got one of the emails that I did not...I don't see a rhyme or reason..other than the mail part just works when it wants to.

That pretty much does point to a spam filter on the server. If you put the same form on S-Drive, do the emails consistently arrive?

not sure what you mean..I have the freebie..so I have no choice but to use S-drive, no? Will consider the paid version if I can work this out. I thought that once a SPAM filter grabs and email, it would grab the rest that look similar to it...like my title says..the emails make it online (S-Drive)...but I was only getting them to my email box sporadically.
