Forms gibberish!

Hey guys,

I'm using Dreamweaver 4, and building the website for Harley-Davidson Dublin,
I've a form on the site for merchandise.
The form sent to my e-mail is often gibberish - !

Is there any way to 'clean up' these messages from the form to be more
legible?!

Example of one this received this morning:

eagle+medium=0&eagle+large=0&eagle+x+large=2&eagle+x2+large=0&v-cam+medi
eagle+um=0
&v-cam+large=0&v-cam+x+large=0&v-cam+x2+large=0&v-cam+x3+large=0&b1+medium=0
&b1+large=0&b1+x+large+=0&b1+x2+large=0&b1+x3+large=0&dealership+pin=0&oil+c
ap+badge=0&ireland+1+chapter+pin=0&baseball+Cap=0&+name=randy+johnson&e-
ap+mail
=rjohnson%40hitel.com&address=3816+carriage+gate+dr.%0D%0Aduluth%2C+ga.+3009
6%0D%0Ausa&phone=770%2F476-8314&fax=770%2F242-1432&Submit=Submit+Form+to+Har
ley-Davidson+Dublin

Thanks in advance...

Conor

Isn't that regular Irish? ;-)
Seriously, give a URL to the form.

to this -

<form ... enctype="text/plain">

Change this -

<form ...>

to this -

<form ... enctype="text/plain">[/q]

Not sure I follow - Is the text "enctype="text/plain" at the very end of the
form tag or within the close form tag?

It's anywhere within the <form> tag with leading and perhaps trailing
spaces, depending on where you put it. In the case of my example, I just
put it at the very end of the tag for clarity. Position within the <form>
tag is immaterial.
