Hello, I thank you for the timely solution, but it would be better if the fields in the repeater area were listed sequentially:

field1[1]

field2[1]

-- separator --

field1[2]

field2[2]

-- separator

and so on....

otherwise the receiver of the mail may misinterpret them.

Moreover, the dropdown control value "foratura[n]" does not compare in the mail (compares only the label)

I've investigated about the dropdown problem in repeater area and in actions/email/output.php array $completed_elements does not contain the dropdown selected value (this happens in every form where a dropdown is within a repeater area)

  [47]=>
  array(11) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(2) "47"
    ["parent"]=>
    string(2) "46"
    ["section"]=>
    string(5) "views"
    ["name"]=>
    string(12) "field_select"
    ["type"]=>
    string(5) "views"
    ["label"]=>
    string(17) "Fori di Fissaggio"
    ["fieldname"]=>
    string(11) "foratura[n]"
    ["options"]=>
    string(194) "nessuno=Nessuno
1 foro centrale superiore=1 foro centrale superiore
2 fori negli angoli superiori= 2 fori negli angoli superiori
4 fori negli angoli= 4 fori negli angoli
4+2 fori= 4 + 2 fori"
    ["noptions"]=>
    array(5) {
      ["nessuno"]=>
      string(7) "Nessuno"
      ["1 foro centrale superiore"]=>
      string(25) "1 foro centrale superiore"
      ["2 fori negli angoli superiori"]=>
      string(30) " 2 fori negli angoli superiori"
      ["4 fori negli angoli"]=>
      string(20) " 4 fori negli angoli"
      ["4+2 fori"]=>
      string(11) " 4 + 2 fori"
    }
    ["page_id"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["page_section"]=>
    string(4) "load"
  }

ok, now dropdown value appears in the mail.

Thanks.

Any possibility to have in the mail the same fields sequence as in the form?
