mail_options Exclude not working for me

[rhy7s]

I get the fields that should be excluded by mail_options in the body of the email. The relevant input line is:

<input type="hidden" name="mail_options" value="Exclude=email;realname" />

as per the sample form (this happens in both my form and the sample form).

This seemed odd, so for now I've just changed the input names and derived values for those fields to at least have slightly more human readable names:

<input type="hidden" name="required" value="EmailAddress:Your email address,Name:Your name" />
<input type="hidden" name="derive_fields" value="email=EmailAddress,realname=Name" />
<input type="text" name="Name" />
<input type="text" name="EmailAddress" />
<textarea name="Message" rows="10" cols="50"></textarea>

Any clues on where I should be looking? It seems strange that it wouldn't even work in the sample form.

are there two mail_options fields?

html only lets u have 1

So, in a form on an html page I can exclude just one or the other of the currently specified realname or email? I think I'll stick with leaving them in the body of the email for now, it's sort of useful having them as a reminder of who wrote the message in immediate proximity to their message.

u can exclude any number of fields - u just list them separated by ;

[rhy7s]

Yeah, that's what I would expect, yet when I run the sample form - which includes those two excludes - a message containing the excluded items in the message body is delivered.

wot's the url for ur form?

Here's the sample form

Example of output:

FullName: Firstname Lastname
EmailAddr: testingtesting123@yopmail.com
contact: Y
colors: blue
vehicles: Car,Plane
mesg: Lorem ipsum

where in that sample output is realname and email?

they look excluded to me...

if u also want FullName and EmailAddr excluded, add them to the list.

[rhy7s]

I assumed they were being defined via:

<input type="hidden" name="derive_fields" value="email=EmailAddr,realname=FullName" />

I was mistaken though obviously.

[crabtree]

derive_fields creates fields from other fields

mail_options Exclude prevents fields (no matter how they are created) from being shown in the email.
