is it possible to make the attachments sent in a form go to only to one recipient instead of all recipients? In my case I use the form to notify different people when someone submits a form. But only one person should receive the attachments asked on the form. Is this possible? If yes, where can I find an example?
If not, this would be a nice feature. Being able to set one or selected recipients would be great!
Not out of the box.
The only solution would be to disable attachments for all and use a Signal to add an attachment for only one receiver, but this needs some PHP-knowledge.

I would like to set up a form on my Shopify website. I want the content of the form to be sent to me via email. So I would like to use the get method and set the forms action attribute to a URL that will send me an email with the submissions.
The question is, how do I send an email through URL's? Or do I need to use API for this? Is it possible at all? Or is it gonna be possible for me to submit the form to a mystore.myshopify.com page?
I have already tried searching some similar questions, but nothing was satisfying.
Sending an email is something that is done on a back-end of the server. With Shopify it's not possible because you don't have access to the back-end.
But the default Shopify contact form does send you an email when it's submitted, so you can use it. You can modify its fields, copy it to other pages, etc.
If you want more customization options, or more control you'll have to use a service. Shopify recommends Wufoo or Jotform. But you can use whatever you like.
One additional thing. If you have a server somewhere where you can access the back-end, you can send your form data there and email it yourself with PHP or any other language that can run there and send emails.
I know it's possible to have a polling survey in Mailchimp, but can we have a text field where people can submit responses as well, inline within the email, without being sent to a landing page?
If you were to code the email yourself, you would probably be able to include an input field. The thing is though, it won't work. Input fields are part of forms, and forms need a location to submit the entered data to. Email clients don't support that kind of data transfers, ergo: nope, not possible!
Final thought: if using a landing page isn't an option, you can always create an email link that simply allows your recipients to reply to the email with their answer to your question. Might not be the most elegant solution, but in some situations it does the trick just fine.
I publish myself as a personal teacher for students, and recently the number of the clients increased, and I think that a proper solution for me will be like that:
when a client sends me an email on Gmail (more correct, puts my gmail address on "send to" field), a template will show up and the client will choose from dropdowns details like: grade, subject, phone number etc.
and that will help me manage myself in a proper way.
I would like to know if that possibility even exists on gmail, and if it does, how do i operate it.
thanks for helping me.
The closest thing that I can think of is using Filters. Filters in Gmail will let you label incoming mail based on the sender, subject or more. These will then show the label in your inbox. You can then keep a Draft or spreadsheet of response templates. You can read up more on filters here.
I know I could simply make a html form on a website and email a link to it, or send the html as an email which posts to the website and try to deal with the errors/warnings for different peoples mail clients.
But, due to a specific request from a client, I am wondering if there is a way I could send an email, a questionnaire, with the same checkbox elements which then user receiving the questionnaire simply checks and sends back as a reply to the sender?
This is not very well supported across email clients, and will even throw some scary looking error messages to your recipients. You will be much better served linking to a landing page.

Email only supports html and css. I think Google has something like that, but it is not widely supported.
Generally, neither html of css can submit a form or (if the form even displays) acknowledge which form fields are populated/checked. Pretty much all you have is hyperlinks.
Passing parameters in your hyperlink would allow you to pre populate a form, but that is about as tricky as you can get.
Something like this:

You could then use PHP for example to populate the landing page form with the values. I know it doesn't help much for a questionnaire, but that's all we have to work with in email.
Is it possible to detect the email client in an html message? Specifically outlook 2007
Update
My users have access to an online system that really has nothing to do with email, but in this system they can all communicate with themselves.
My app - takes messages from this system, and then sends it via an email instead.
Now I need a reply to function. Obviously its not a normal email address so...
I want a way to intercept this message, and send it via another channel.
I could write the outlook plug to check EVERY SINGLE out going email address, but this surely can't be the way we're expected to work with email.
It would be much easier to have a button in the email itself which can call an outlook function (custom) and then pass control to this function.

Thanks guys for your answer, but there is a little more complexity. The online system contains fields, these fields need to be completed by the user before sending the reply. So I need some kind of form (yes with working check boxes, etc in there). This should all be in the email message.
Essentially what you'll need to do is set up an automated process that monitors a particular email address, and set that address as the reply-to in your outgoing email. When a message comes in, you can do whatever analysis you need to (examining the from, subject, etc.) and process the content however you see fit.
"Detect" using what? Javascript does not work in email. CSS stylesheets don't either - so no CSS hacks.
Have you tried to change the Reply-To header in the email to the direction that you want?
You have an example in C# & VB in: http://www.systemwebmail.com/faq/2.7.aspx
