Name and Email As Field Value
I want the value in a drop down field to be in the standard format for a name and email address, which is:
Name <myemail@hotmail.com>
The problem is Formidablle converts it to:
Name <myemail@hotmail.com></myemail@hotmail.com>
Thinking it's an HTML tag.
My end game here is I need to select a to address when the recipient selects the person but when I go back to view the submitted values, I need to see the name of the person as the email address alone may not be adequate for determining who it was sent to.

I've never seen Formidable convert data entered into a form into another format. Please walk us through your process or provide a link to the form so we can have a clear understanding of what's going on.

I found the problem.
[123] uses the label of the selection (on dropdowns the label is what is displayed in the dropdown, the value is what is passed when the form is submitted - in most cases it's the same exact value.)
When uses separated values in the dropdown (like label|value) to use the value in the notification fields (such as the to: field) you need to specify:
[123 show=value]
So you could have a field dropdown selection specified as name|email
[123] will show the name
[123 show=value] will show the email address
