Newsletter/subscribe.cgi?
I'm wondering if the NAME field is required in the form on the web pages. The reason I ask is becasue during testing it looks like it does not get used in the email that was sent.
TIA

It is not required...code hacks for removing it from the
subscribe.cgi
file has been discussed in the

Thanks for the reply. I'll K.I.S.S and just remove the Name field from the form. Thats the answer I was hoping for.
Thanks!

Uh...that is not good enough since the
subscribe.cgi
builds the email database file in the following format:
username|email@domain.com
If you remove the
name
field in your email template files, then you will get error messages. What you could do is add a hidden field:
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="Null">
if you want to KISS it.
