# [Plugin: MailChimp List Subscribe Form] Feature Request: Include Preferred Format

 * Dear MailChimp,
 * I really like your plugin, but there is an important feature missing: **The sign-
   up form does _not_ allow the subscriber to select a preferred email format (HTML,
   Text, Mobile).** This feature is available through the default sign-up form, 
   and through the embedded code generated on MailChimp.com, but not through this
   plugin!
 * Here’s how the plugin looks on a website I’m building for a client:
 * [http://www.santlytraining.com/](http://www.santlytraining.com/) (no preferred
   format)
 * Here is the default sign-up form (with preferred format), first on it’s own, 
   and then embedded into a Facebook page:
 * [http://santlytraining.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=dca80c0435cb825af37c7b250&id=e759d80591](http://santlytraining.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=dca80c0435cb825af37c7b250&id=e759d80591)

 * I’d like the sign-up form to include the preferred format no matter where it 
   appears. Can you please add this feature to the WordPress plugin?
 * Thanks very much,
 * Fred Chapman

 * P.S. On further reflection, this is really a **bug report**, not a feature request!
   The plugin should include all the same fields that a standard web-based form 
   has.

 * P.P.S. I’ve found too many bugs in this plugin and will have to switch to embedded
   code to get the features I need to work reliably.
