Folks,
  
The undistributed form sends XML, but the distributed form sends the whole PDF. I have set up an email button on the form to send me the data as XML. The XML source viewed in LiveCycle correctly reflects this:

\
 
When I fill out the form *prior to* distribution, it sends an XML file to this address. However, the distributed PDF emails the whole PDF, and sends it to a default email address (set in Acrobat Pro Edit menu -> Preferences -> Identity).
 
Additionally, the response tracking is always turned on whether or not I deselect that option. It seems Adobe Pro is fiddling with the instructions set in LiveCycle.
 
Thank you,
cur

Gads. There's a javascript solution shown in acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-livecycle-designer/submit-email-button-pdf-instead-xml .

var subject1 = "This is your Subject line";
var address1 = "email [dot] address [at] sendto [dot] com";
var body1 = "\nHello%2C\n\n This is your body of the email message";

event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:" + address1 +"?subject=" + subject1 +"&body=" + body1 + "",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
