 * Hi,
    I am having a small problem with the part of composing the custom email 
   in the Email Builder. – When I select to add a specific “Form Field” I was expecting
   to add the value of the field in the email. As an example if we have a text filed
   called Name and you want to customize the email let say Hi [Name], and the user
   enters James in the filed, I would expect to see Hi James in the composed email.
   But I was actually getting the name of the field. Here is an example what I get
   in the email: A new Form has been submitted by Name, find below the results: 
   The Name text is a link to a URL [http://website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=smart_forms_menu&id=1&action=edit#](http://website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=smart_forms_menu&id=1&action=edit#)
   I have replaced the domain name in the example.
 * – If I add variable Current Date, in the received email just says Current Date
   instead of just displaying the date of composing the email. With the date is 
   the same, the text is a URL as in the above example : [http://website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=smart_forms_menu&id=1&action=edit#](http://website.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=smart_forms_menu&id=1&action=edit#)
 * – Is it possible Field Summary to be displayed in the sent email in a table format?
   
   Field Name | Field Value
 * Thanks a lot,
    Hrisan

 * Hello!
 * Could you send me an screenshot of your email configuration please?
 * Regarding changing field summary to table format, do you want to place each field
   in a column?

 * Hi Edgar,
 * for the emails variables I will send it over the email as I can’t paste a picture
   here thanks.
    For the table format I was thinking something like this:
 * field name | field value
    Field 1 | value of field 1 Field 2 | value of field
   2 Field 3 | value of field 3
 * Currently is doing it almost the same in a list format. Not that is big deal 
   but is easier to read in a table compared to list.
    filed 1: value field 1 filed
   2: value field 2
 * Thanks a lot,
    Hrisan
