Example 2 - Multiple Fixed Subject and Recipient  
In this example, the TO field has been replaced with a drop down list of possible recipients.  This makes it easy to set up a contacts feedback page with feedback going to the correct contact.  The Subject field has also been replaced by a drop down list thereby allowing for easy categorization of incoming emails.  The Carbon copy field has been removed, and only the carbon copy to myself option remains. (See the HTML):

Form and HTML  
Send a Request for More Information
Select the appropriate contact for your feedback from the drop down list in the To field. Please be sure to choose a category that best suits your needs from the Subject line. If you would like a copy of this feedback check the 'Send carbon copy to myself' box.

Modification rule of thumb

If you remove a field be sure to replace it with a hidden equivalent.  If you want to remove the 'carbon copy to myself' check box, just remove it without adding a hidden field equivalent.
