Answer 1

If you are wondering how to get the text from textfield, and send it, you will need to use textfield.text
NSString *emailBody = textField.text;
[mailer setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];

Answer 2

There can be two way -
You can create proprty for your text field, and then access like - myTextField.text where you want.
You can create a NSString property and set value in to this when text field has some text.

Answer 3

//this is one single line which return your textFiledData
your_text_field.text

Answer 4

Create a variable for ur textfield like IBOutlet UITextField * textFieldVar; and connect it to ur Text field in the nib , then using the following code u can get the text from the text field
NSString *emailBody = textFieldVar.text;

Answer 5

You can create the body of email as you want by appending the string with particular format
Like
User ID: 223984775(value from the textfieldUserID)
Name: XYZ(value from the textfieldName)
......
You can do this by appending the string as the user moves to the next text field to enter.
Use Nsstring "stringWithFormat" method to append the data in the body. Use \n and \t to give a Tabular structure to the body of email. Use formatting too
