    Is this because it is encrypted? 

    What I receive is simple answers for all the questions, but none of the customized additions in the notification.  In fact, I deleted most of the answers from the notification.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    "Is this because it is encrypted? "

    Actually, yes. When the form is encrypted, there are no data readable. So, you will receive the Notification emails with the following content:

    So, yes,  I understood most of that.  I am able to receive the encrypted data I received, but I didn't receive the information I requested in the EMAILS.

    But,if I read correctly, I cannot receive emails.

    Apparently the data I received as an encrypted email is not considered  an "email."  That is what confused me.

    You are right. What you receive as a Notification is not the notification email that you have set up at your form's Settings. You were just notified about receiving a new submission. Unfortunately, that is how encryption works. But, if you release the encryption option, you will receive the Notification email you've created.


    I hope this all helps, but we will gladly assist if you have more questions.
