   come through2. the sequence they arrive in is scrozzledit does send name and 
   email together, fineit chooses to make text2 the subject??it lists text 3 nextthen
   phonethen date1
 * date 2 is omitted entirely.
   I wrongly assumed the email would list the information
   submitted in the sequence listed in the form. I had no idea it would take the
   3rd text field as the subject?Help please….

 * Thanks for the email response, but it leaves me as confused as I was before.
   
   1. I don’t see anything in the instructions that distinguishes a value with an*
   or without:Hometown [text your-subject]Type of rig (tent/motorhome) [text* your-
   subject]Why does it choose to make the second one the subject?2. Why does the
   first one work, not the second one?:Camping date arrive [date* date-823]Camping
   date depart [date* date-667]In an earlier life, I programmed in six languages,
   but have since lost my programming skills, so I have to rely on logic, and logic
   is failing me miserably at this point.
