Low Variables + Select type + Freeform = Drop Down Select Notification Email - please?
The contact form has a drop down selection to choose the recipient of the email.
Having some difficulty getting the low variable select to parse correctly in Freeform's notify="" - is it not possible to do this?
In the form itself the Low Variables Select is all correct and looking good - just things going haywire with the notification sending. Freeform entries go into the EE DB fine and the correct notification.
I just can't seem to word the Low Variables tag to get the parsing right or something as I end up with the actual LV tag in the sender address in the email.

Extra note - Enable early parsing is selected as well.

Hi Megan Jane,
What does your code look like? You can use pastie.org to avoid GetSatisfaction code display issues.

Just talked to Steven via Skype, and my hunch was correct.
Don't use the {exp:low_variables:parse} tag as a parameter for another tag. Actually, that's always the case: never put an {exp:-tag inside another {exp:-tag's parameter.
Instead, just use the variable syntax (and have early parsing ticked on):
notify="{form_contact_notify}"gomichild 7 Mar 2012 10:21
Actually the parse was the last option I tried after a few others. Just the variable syntax with early parsing was my first option and it didn't work for me.

Okay, then what is it you're trying to do exactly? Please add a code example, too.
