Default Formatting the Text in a Access Data Collection Email

All,

quick question: is there a way to add any formatting to text in a data
collection field of a data collection email?

Example: we provide a question in one field, and the possible answers in a
second. I'd like to list this as:

A) ...
B) ...
C) ...

But the best I have been able to get is:

A) ... B) ... C) ...

Any ideas?

mike

Do you have MS Infopath, it provides more control over the collection form.
I have only played with it but a search of google provided some samples.

Unfortunately, Infopath is not an option for us...

Your problem will be that although HTML forms are quite capable and can do
what you want most firewalls/servers will adjust/strip it as administrators
decide is appropriate. You are kind of stuck with using what you have and
what it can provide or spend a little more money. You can move to Outlook
forms and VBA but this pains even the proffesionals. Just thank your local
hacker group for the cost. Pete

I appreciate it. Althought Infopath isn't an option, I do know that the
emails will stay within our own domain / own email servers.

Unfortunately, I have to send out the emails Monday morning...
