I did have to change the quotation marks around "eloquaemail" to single quotes to get everything to display properly within the email.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346526443030817571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219593209707974691.post-53323376289602022192009-06-09T13:17:16.213-04:002009-06-09T13:17:16.213-04:00Jeff,

The difference was that I had a custom field for email address (Email_Address1) as my email field, rather than the standard one (EmailAddress). I've corrected the original post, apologies for that mistake.Steven Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376596253100522418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219593209707974691.post-84554557835122074612009-06-09T12:22:57.136-04:002009-06-09T12:22:57.136-04:00Steven,

However, this technique is not actually using an HTML form, rather it is encapsulating what would be in a form within a URL. That is very unlikely to be displayed in a form field upon forwarding.Steven Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376596253100522418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219593209707974691.post-57915012052569512062009-04-07T12:17:00.000-04:002009-04-07T12:17:00.000-04:00I've tried this technique, but when I forward one ...I've tried this technique, but when I forward one of these emails using Outlook, the hidden form fields are displayed (in the forward email as I compose, not when it arrives).<BR/><BR/>Any ideas as to why this would happen?CHRISdotTODDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891237750055202017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219593209707974691.post-64362799201395504172009-03-10T14:51:00.000-04:002009-03-10T14:51:00.000-04:00Melinda,you could... it depends on what you want ...Melinda,<BR/>you could... it depends on what you want to accomplish. Obviously though if you don't know an email address, or any identifying info, you're limited in what you can do with the form submit, as you can't use any person-specific steps. What did you have in mind specifically?<BR/>SteveSteven Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06376596253100522418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219593209707974691.post-9868672562018109282009-03-10T13:49:00.000-04:002009-03-10T13:49:00.000-04:00Very interesting!

Could a similiar format be used if the email address is not known? For example, Google Adword clicks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
