Gillian, usually it's your code that causes the .att attachment. I have a wicked headache at the moment and it's not up to looking through frontpages mess, so you can look in your source code and see how many tags you have. I had a quick look and it looks like the select option is not in between the form tags, you also have the thankyou reminder with full html tags at the bottom of the page that needs removing, but thats frontpage for you.
Also the ?subject=... doesn't work on some of the latest browsers, and will cause the mailto tag not to work. Using a mailto is bad anyway as it invites spam, try use a server side form if possible (like gregsbaby64 example or hotscripts.com or similar)

gregsbaby64, web forms (server side) should have a bit more validation than what you have, for one, all variables from the form should be $_POST[value] to help stop email spam, they should also make use of functions like trim(), htmlspecialchars(), even check the email address it self so it only is one address and is valid, otherwise it can be abused - I wont put how it can on here.

You can just copy and paste the following .txt file and it should do what you want it to do. Just replace Web Girlie everywhere and make sure you put in your email address.

Hi
Thanks for replying so quickly.
I have managed to open the attachment by saving it and then opening it in notepad but it would be nice to see it on the actual email.
The URL is blueastral.co.uk/contact.htm
Thanks
Gill

Welcome to the Forums! :wave:

Can you post us the URL of the page the form is on so that we can see if the set up is causing it?
