 * Hi,
 * Everything is working perfectly apart from a check box..
 * I want it to say something like:
    “please untick this box if you wish to not 
   be be contacted in the future”
 * So i put the code like `please untick this box[checkbox opt_out "if"]you wish
   to not be be contacted in the future.`
 * This displays the box in the right location, though on the email form I add the
   code of: `Opt out? [checkbox]`
 * Sadly if i tick the box or nor, all i get is `[checkbox]`
 * Can anyone help me, I have a feeling i am doing something stupid…
 * Thanks,
    Cundall

 * In the email form you use the name of the object “opt_out”
    Not the type. In 
   the email form put in [opt_out]
