 * Hello,
    I’m trying to create a form that allows users to e-mail their city officials
   from their own mail client, based on what city they choose to e-mail.
 * In this form, users would click checkboxes with the people they choose to e-mail,
   and would enter their name and address information. When they click submit, the
   variables will be placed into the e-mail below.
 * Here is the code I’m using to send the e-mail out. The [variables] are the ones
   that I want populated.
 *     ```
       <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a href="mailto:[email1]?cc=[email2]&subject=Conern%20toward%20American%20Fork%20Canyon&
       body=Date]<br><br>Dear%20[contactname]:<br><br>My%20name%20is%20[firstname]%20and%20I%20reside%20at%20[address]%20in%20[city],;<br><br>[firstname%20lastname]">E-Mail your elected officials</a></span>
       ```
