 * I have successfully created checkboxes on my form. However, when the form comes
   through on an e-mail none of the boxes are checked.
 * In the form I have tried this:
    <input type=”checkbox”> [checkbox checkbox-639]
   </input type>
 * and this:
    <input type=”checkbox”> </input type> [checkbox checkbox-639]
 * In the Mail I have tried:
    [checkbox-639]
 * This:
    <input type=”checkbox”> [checkbox-639] </input type>
 * And This:
    <input type=”checkbox”> </input type> [checkbox-639]
 * The form is working great except for the checkboxes.
 * Anybody have an idea? Thank you.

 * Please include a link to your Contact Form 7 form plus all your input in the 
   Form and Mail sections of the CF7 interface. If others here are able to understand
   your actual problem, they may be able to offer a possible solution.

 * Greetings, Takayuki. Thank you for your response. I have already read the Checkboxes,
   Radio Buttons and Menus, which is where I got the information to create the checkboxesin
   the first place.
 * If you will please refer to my post you will see that I have correctly used <
   input type=”checkbox”> to create a checkbox, and generated a tag, according to
   the post in FAQs. I have tried several configurations in Forms and Mail, as I
   show in my post. The checkbox appears on the form on my site. You can put a check
   in the box. It appears blue. When the e-mail arrives in Apple Mail the box is
   not checked.
 * Perhaps you could simply show an example of how the code + tag should appear 
   in a sample Form + Mail? That would be most helpful.
 * Should you like to use my form as an example here is the line of code as it appears
   in the Form:
 * <p><input type=”checkbox”> [checkbox us-double exclusive] </input type> <b>U.
   S. Citizen – Double Occupancy</b>
 * Here is the line of code as it appears in Mail:
 * <p><input type=”checkbox”> [us-double] </input type> <b>U.S. Citizen – Double
   Occupancy $3530</b>
 * Thank you.

 * Davmerit, Thank you for your response as well. Unless I am seriously mistaken
   this is not that complicated. It is simply a matter of having a checkbox on a
   form and having a check appear in the e-mail.
 * It is a matter of having the correct taxonomy in the Form and in Mail. If you
   or anyone, including Takayuki, can simply write out a sample of how the complete
   line of code should appear in the Form and the corresponding line in Mail (see
   my response to Takayuki, above) I believe the problem would be solved.
 * No such example exists in the FAQ that I can find.

 * I requested for your form input because I need to understand what you are trying
   to do. That way I would be a good position to provide an accurate response to
   your problem.
