Default Need Help with Custom Forms

I created a test custom message form with one field in addition to To: From:
and CC:. I then used to email to myself. The message that turned up in the
InBox did not have the custom new field. What did I do wrong? Am I somehow
supposed to define a new Inbox template or something? Thanks.

Default Need Help with Custom Forms

Did you publish the form to the Organizational Forms library or each user's Personal Forms library? Did you leave the "send form definition with item" box unchecked?

Did you remember to click Edit Read Page to create a read layout that contains a control to display the new field?

Yep (I forgot!). Thanks. While you here --- how do I email the custom form to
someone? Thanks again.

OK, I just put the field on the Edit Read Page. Previously (on 24?) I had
unchecked the "send form definition with item" check box and the form is in a
new library. And it still does not display the new custom field after it is
sent (to myself).

Hurray! I checked the "send form definition with item" and it worked! Ok, so
now how do I distribute the thing? Everything I read is pretty confusing.
Thanks.

No, no, that won't work in the long run.

How you distribute it depends on whether you're working in an organization that uses Exchange as its mail server.
