    When my web form is filled in and submited it arrives by email and all the data is in paragraphs.

    It depends on what kind of script you're using to process the form data and mail it out.
    It's very hard to suggest anything usefull without knowing this.
    It could be anything from using a web-based configuration interface for that script, to getting down and dirty editing the script manually in a text editor.

    Recently I had to make similar output changes while using formmail.pl, it was just a matter of going in and editing the right part of the script.

    You can send a mail as html. So, when building what the mail sends, e.g. the fields and information, you write it like a webpage:

    <html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>Name:</td>
    <td>Joe Bloggs</td>
    </tr>
    <!-- and whatever other info you want here --!>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>

    You should have an option to change how the mail is sent, e.g. plain text or html. What script are you using to send the mail? ASP, PHP?

    If you can give a bit more insight, I might be able to throw something your way.

    Rgds,
