There is an example of Telefinder's built in ability to output form data to email. In the sysop area on Spider Island in Telefinder SPML Source I put together a very simple one called feedback.sea. It takes the output from a form and sends it as email to designated user. This can be modified to give you tab delimited output of many fields. It does require a bit of hand coding but it works straight up. I know that sometimes an example can make things easier to figure out. I did this one for a user on my system.
