formmail (not receiving email) - update

Me again. Some folks suggested that i look at the second, working form.

After playing (?!) with the forms, i think i have at least determined what
part of the problem is. i have a simple field in my form:

<.b>Email:</b></td><.td><.input name="email" size="20"></td>

First of all, this is not a "required" field. Actually, none of MY fields
are "required", as far as the script and form is concerned.

Anyways, if the user doesn't put an email in there, i dont get the mail. if
he puts in an email with bad syntax, i dont get the mail. Even if every
other field is left blank, and they put in a rog(at)coolmail.com and i *WILL*
get the mail. If i delete that <.b>Email:</b></td><.td><.input name="email"
size="20"></td> line, i dont get the mail. if i try to change the
name="email" to name="e_mail" or name="email_address" i dont get my mail.
But if it stays name="email", and the user DOES input a syntax-correct email
address, I get my mail.

I know i can use a javascript and FORCE the user to enter some kinda email,
but for this project, we honestly don't need that yet, and i/they shouldnt
have to. Any clue? :)

Thanks again for those who might look at this. Also again, its VERY much
appreciated.
