Selectable recipients not working

    This was working before, but I’ve noticed it’s not working now. I’m not certain how long it’s been down.

    I’ve got a form with several recipients set as a selectable (with pipes) option, but the email fails to be sent (red box)

    This is my setup:

    <p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email] </p>
<p>Send email to: (required) <br />
[select your-recipient: ""
    "Chapter Board | board@example.org"
    "President | president@example.org"
    "Treasury Chair | treasury@example.org"
    "Quartermaster | qm@example.org"
    "Webmaster | webmaster@example.org"]</p>
<p>Subject<br />
    [text your-subject] </p>
<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message] </p>
<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

    My To: field has this:
    [your-recipient]

    Unfortunately, according to my email long plugin when I select an address and send it, the form tries to send to “[your- recipient]” instead of the email address I’ve selected.

    I’ve found one post that has a solution, indicated that they added a blank line at the beginning. I’ve done this, but it hasn’t worked.

    All other forms, going to a specific set individual, are working with no issues, so it’s not my mail setup.

    Any ideas what I could be doing wrong, or what the solution to this may be?

    Take out the colon and blank line after [select your-recipient: “” ?

    I have this working and I don’t have a colon and I don’t have a blank line. If they are required to select a recipient, there shouldn’t be a blank entry…right?

    [select your-recipient: “”
    “Chapter Board | board@example.org”
    “President | president@example.org”
    “Treasury Chair | treasury@example.org”
    “Quartermaster | qm@example.org”
    “Webmaster | webmaster@example.org”]</p>

    Colon is the main problem. Can include blank line as follows:

    <p>Send email to: (required) <br />
[select your-recipient include_blank
    "Chapter Board | board@example.org"
    "President | president@example.org"
    "Treasury Chair | treasury@example.org"
    "Quartermaster | qm@example.org"
    "Webmaster | webmaster@example.org"]</p>

    That was it. I’m not certain where it came from, but it works now.

    Thanks again both of you.

    Oh, and Sue, the “” was intended to include a blank line in the beginning. This forces the user to actually select an option, rather than sending the form to the first entry.
    The user of include_blank works the same way, probably better. I’ve changed my form to use that as well.
