 * I want to have a contact page with the usual fields, email and name. However 
   I would like to have 3 text boxed where people can answer my questions in each
   field.
    Whenever I do this all 3 boxes display but if I fill enter anything in
   all 3 and then check my email, I get the text from just 1 box only. Can anyone
   please help or even send me the correct code for this? I just need: Name: Email:
   Text Box 1 Text Box 2 Text Box 3
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You have to add _mail-tags_ to your mail template which match the _form-tags_,
   [more here](http://contactform7.com/tag-syntax/).

 * Thanks Ov3rfly but I’ve tried that. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. What would
   the code be for this? Is there any chance you could send me the correct code 
   to just paste in?

 * The correct code is explained well in CF7 backend and documentation.
 * What exactly did you try? Please post the content of your _form-tab_ and _mail-
   tab_ then maybe somebody can spot the problem.
