- Press the < Options > button.
- Select the < E-mail Results > tab
- Your previous inserted email address should already be
filled into the
< E-mail address... > field.
- It's better to leave the < Email format > as "Formatted
text" and leave the "Include field names"
selected. Using "Formatted
text" assures that the recipient will be able to open and
read the email correctly.
- Insert your < Subject Line > title and
uncheck the "Form field name".
This field will put your subject title in the subject line of
your email.
- Insert your < Reply-to line > email address and

sent to.
Since this email is coming from ITD's webserver it will have <
www@bnl.gov > in the < From: > field of the email. WE DO NOT
WANT PEOPLE SENDING REPLIES TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS, so please
make sure you fill out the
< Reply-to line > email address correctly.

plain generic Microsoft FrontPage confirmation web page. Select
this tab if you want to point to a custom confirmation web page
you have made.

form, like: the date, time, username, and remote computer name.
This information is always good to have.
