    Um. Hmm. What do you mean by "in email"? You have a page that posts
information to another page by sending it an email? And how do you have two
querystrings?

    So, you're doing a Request.QueryString and a Request.Form on the same
page, is that it? That can work if you are both POSTing a form and appending
a querystring to the URL, although it may not be the best approach.

    Uh oh. I'm lost. Is Rube Goldberg on your development team? (Sorry,
couldn't resist! ;) Do you have a URL you can provide? I'm afraid to ask for
code snippets, but if you don't have a URL publicly available, that might be
the next best thing...
    Sorry.
