[TYPO3] FORM, defined using ts, not sending to email address

[Andrew Davis]

the root of this problem, really, is my lack of understanding of how 
this whole mailform process works in typo3.

a normal email form, inserted on a page, works like magic. configuration 
in the data field is parsed very nicely and it sends.

but i need to pass a variable to an email form. so i am told to use 
dataArray and setup the form in TS.

easy enough, and presto, it renders on the page very nicely.

but then there is all this
temp.form < styles.content.mailform
business.

And I don not understand why i need to copy all that info from mailform. 
but ok, i do.

and then when completely setup i have to copy it back? Is populating my 
form to styles.content.mailform the only way to get a mailform to send 
in typo3? (which i cant get it to do...)

hmmmm.... I will pok some more thru documentation to try and figure it 
out, but as you can see from my 100 posts it is not coming easily.

thanks everyone for your help.................
