Proposal: Add all fields to mail

Create a tag [ALL FIELDS] to add all filled fields easily to the mail.

Aye, good idea!

An alternative way for tackling this would be to provide a default email message (that includes all fields currently in the form) when setting up the email action. This allows for an easy starting point while still allowing for the entire email to be customized.

Hmm, difficult to say which one is better. I thing both try to achieve a little different goal in the end. While your solution is adding a good starting point, the "all fields" solution would be easy to setup, but not that customisable. When adding fields afterwards nothing needs to be changed in the mail.

+1 This would be great, especially for long forms. Both options would be helpful, but if only one were done first, I think providing a default message with all fields already in it would best. It would cover an instance where there are lots of fields and you want all but a few included in the email. Alternatively, an all fields shortcode could have an exclude attribute [All Fields exclude="PRIVATE_FIELD"].
