How to Send InfoPath Email From SharePoint
You can send an InfoPath form in SharePoint by establishing a secondary submit data connection in the form template. The Data Connection wizard allows you to create custom values for the recipient, subject line or form name fields by entering text directly, adding fields or groups within the form, or using formulas and functions. You can also design the data connection to send the InfoPath form as an attachment or embed it within the body of the email message.
