Email Address Duplicates When Auto Submitting Through Lotus Notes

I have set up a "submit" button on my form, but when I test it using Lotus Notes (6.5), the email address appears twice in the "TO" field. Does this occur in other email programs, or is this specific to Lotus Notes? Any fixes or tips on where I might be going wrong in my setup? (During setup, I definitely enter the email address only once.) Regards...

If you have the data submitted to a web server as a FDF or XML file, you can simply import that data into the PDF. Reader creates other problems as Aandi said, at least if you try to submit the whole PDF since it then has to be saved (an extra rights issue for Reader). The e-mail issue has to do with the client e-mail setup. For folks that use an out of the box client like Outlook, I don't think it is necessarily a problem since MicroSoft turns on everything out of the box (that is part of the reason there are almost always security problems). I believe it is MAPI that has to be active for Acrobat or Reader to be able to interact with a mail package. Similar problems exist for mailto in HTML forms. I gave up on that one 10 years ago because every browser did it differently and typically messed things up.
That is the main reason for my comment. You may feel that e-mail is necessary, but it may also be a major problem that may make you look like a fool to others, even if you are not the issue. If you have a limited user base, then you may be able to deal with the issues, but it is a bad practice for a general form to be posted on the internet. It sounds like your use might be within an office and that may be fine.
In terms of your original question, would it be possible to post a sample form with your e-mail (or generic) on it. Then we can look at it, possibly change the e-mail to our own and see what happens with our e-mail clients.
