 * Hi,
 * I’ve been trying to do the same and have got the following workaround.
 * For each drop down selection you need a hidden output field to display the results.
 * It appears the email body can only handle data from Input or Output fields. If
   you add any other type the email won’t go through.
 * For example: Drop down selection id Fruit > Apples (1) or Oranges (2)
    Hidden
   Output field id email_fruit > if(Fruit=1,”Apples”,”Oranges)
 * Then in the email form add {{email_fruit}}
 * I’ve also noted that using this method you can’t return an alphanumeric value
   unless you start the string with a character not a number i.e. if(Fruit=1,”8 
   Apples”… – does not work but if(Fruit=1″- 8 Apples”… does work.
 * Same for the input field. I have a box for a contact telephone number but this
   would be blank when emailed if only a number was entered. For the moment I have
   included some text (Contact telephone:) as default in the entry box.
 * This is just what I have found in my brief time with this excellent plug-in. 
   I should also note that I couldn’t get the email to work with some themes so 
   have dropped back to Twenty Eleven for now.
 * Hope that helps.
