I designed my LiveCycle form with a Submit by Email button. When a user clicks it, the popup appears asking if the user wants to send by desktop email client or a web-based client. The user selects to send the email with a desktop email client, whereupon the message box appears with the send to and subject fields correctly filled out and the xml file attached.

BUT, in the message BODY, the following message is automatically inserted by LiveCyle:

"The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself. The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details."

Obviously I don't want that message to appear to users. But I don't see a way to change it. I've looked through the xml code view of the form and I don't see anything that even resembles it, so I don't even know how this message gets into the email body in the first place. (And in addition, the message refers to Acrobat Pro 7... I'm using Acrobat Pro 9. I've never had a different version.)

Can anyone help me prevent this crazy message from appearing?

I don't know if you looked at the Object tab, then the Submit tab. In the Submit to URL box, here is an example of what you can enter. After subject= you can enter whatever you want to to show in the subject line. Then after body= you can enter whatever you want to have in the message body.

mailto:?subject=Springfield LLC Purchase Order&body=Please find attached Springfield LLC Purchase Order form.I tried making a sample form but did not see the message that you noted. So not sure if this will help you.

Hi Sue. I'm using LiveCycle 8.2. I'm not using the generic Button object, I'm using the specialized Email Submit Button object. There is only the field tab, there is no submit tab as in a generic button object. Under the field tab, there are the usual appearance options, plus fields for email address and email subject.
If I used a generic Button object instead of the Email Submit Button object, I'm fuzzy on syntax and how much I can enter in the url box. I didn't know that more can be entered inside the url box besides mailto. Would it be something like:
mailto:mymail [at] mysite [dot] com, subject="Form Submitted", body="File is attached"

Sue I looked up the mailto syntax myself, and everything works good. I didn't realize so much could be entered in the url box.
Thanks again!!
