Auto Populate a form from Email?

Can you have a link in an email, which takes a user to a form, and then populate the input field for 'email' with the user's email address?

Yes, you can.

You need to have a get parameter on the link. For example, if you have a text-box on form with the id or name parameter of "email", your link should look like this:

http://example.com/page.html?email=[replaceWithEmailAddress]

For multiple parameters:

http://example.com/page.html?email=[replaceWithEmailAddress]&otherId=[replaceWithValue]

When preparing the email, embed the email address into the url. Therefore, it becomes part of the GET request.
