Is it possible to alter the “Submitting Completed Form” on the email description line?

Our email system is set up to auto accept emails that have a 4 digit number in the format (9999) anywhere on the description line as an anti spam measure, it brings on the question; is there a means of altering the “Submitting Completed Form” that auto inserts on the email description line that it can include this code thereby allowing the email a direct route through the spam filter?

Thanks Dimitri,
On reading that, it would appear its for creating your own submit button or something along those lines, what if I'm using the built in “Distributed” feature, where it only asks for a return email address, there’s no access to the description line?

Or if I don’t use the Distributed feature can I then create an “invisible” button and the form will still submit using the inbuilt Submit Form feature of forms?

Incidentally at this time we are not particularly interested in Adobe’s tracking of replies so if that feature is disabled by making your own submit means it wouldn’t be missed.

You can use server-side scripting, as in ASP.net or PHP, to submit a PDF form, e-mail the results, and have ful control over the e-mail message and attachments without using Client Side e-mail software such as OUTLOOK or LOTUS NOTES.

Server-side scripting allows the developer full control over data collection, data storage and analysis, and distribution.


Setup:
Create script, change submit button submit action, upload files
