Empty Fields in email...or are they?

[1PUTTS]

I'm trying out the "omit empty fields" email example and it's still showing fields which are supposed to be empty.

However, I have added "default" text to each field...but this is not supposed to actually get passed along when the form is submitted. When I look at the fields where nothing was added, they are blank...but are they actually empty? It appears not.

OK, so after doing some testing I can report that if the field type is a textbox, the email template has no problems recognizing empty fields as being empty. Using the omit empty fields email template, they don't show up.

But if the field is a textarea, it won't recognize it as being empty and will show the field label...but nothing in the field since it's empty. Weird, eh?

My solution to the above problem: change all the textareas to textboxes in the edit form > fields tab. Even though they are textboxes on the actual form. Not very elegant but it worked. I'll take it as a win for now.
