Hi all,

I am trying to create an online job application for a client and wondering if anyone can make any suggestions to point me in the right direction. What I want is a standard HTML form that then emails the output in a logical format.
I am currently using pair's cgiemail template:

http://www.pair.com/support/knowledge_base/authoring_development/system_cgi_cgiemail.html

but noticing that when I have checkboxes to select multiple options, a list is printed out with gaps between the options that don't look so good.

Example:

Where would you like to apply:
[chkbox]option 1
[chkbox]option 2
[chkbox]option 3
[chkbox]option 4
etc.

is emailed as

Applicant wants to apply to
option1

option3
option4

if those are the 3 that they wanted and in the longer lists of options it's really ugly and hard to read. Could anybody make any suggestions for an easier way to do this? I am somewhat familiar with php and pretty familiar with HTML. Essentially I want something more customizable than cgiemail I guess.

Thanks in advance!
