Subject Line Variable

[johnsmith0251]

Is it possible to have the email subject line be a field in the form?

For example, if I want the subject line to always be the name of the person (typed in the name field), could I do this?

The subject line can also include variables, as described here:

The name of the form field is firstname

so, i put $firstname in the subject line.

Its not working

When it comes through, the subject line says $firstname.

Did you set the email format to rich text or HTML? otherwise variables will not be processed.

Ok, that's what I missed. Thank you for pointing that out.
