   I have a completed for but i cannot get the check boxes to show up in my mail once the form has been submitted.

   How do i set up a form in the message body?

   For instance here is and example:

   FORM
   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [checkbox Yes "Comprehensive"]
   [checkbox Yes "Third Party"]
   [checkbox Yes "Third Party, Fire & Theft"]

   MESSAGE BODY

   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [checkbox Yes "Comprehensive"]
   [checkbox Yes "Third Party"]
   [checkbox Yes "Third Party, Fire & Theft"]

   Is this wrong? I would really appreciate help with this as i have been struggling for a while.

   Regards
   Stef

   I'm only new to this plugin, but shouldn't it read:

   FORM
   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [checkbox Yes "Comprehensive" "Third Party" "Third Party, Fire & Theft"]

   and then:
   MESSAGE BODY
   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [Yes]

   Also...

   Since you want the user to only pick one of the three, wouldn't you be better to use Radio Buttons?

   Ok that makes sense-i will give it a try. But if i use radio buttons-how would i display that in the MESSAGE BODY?

   Thanks for your help-much appreciated.

   ps. Are you having problems receiving emails since upgrading to wordpress 2.8? I cant seem to receive emails like i used to-only through my gmail account.

   To display in message body, you would just add the name of the field which you want to include, which in your case would be [Yes].

   I think your new code should be:

   FORM
   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [radio Yes "Comprehensive" "Third Party" "Third Party, Fire & Theft"]

   and then:
   MESSAGE BODY
   1.Type of Insurance that you want:
   [Yes]

   No problems with email here.
