You can expand your formmail.php forms to use checkbox fields, as long as you follow the proper naming convention for the checkbox fields.
Here is a standard formmail example with a few checkbox fields added:
Checkbox fields must have the square brackets ([]) after each of their names, otherwise only the value of the last checkbox field will be included in the form results.
Here is the code for this form:
<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="you@Your_Domain.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Subject of email">
<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="http://www.Your_Domain.com/thankyoupage.html">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name">
<br />
<br />
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email">
<br />
<br />
<div>Where did you hear about us?</div>
<hr>
<input type="checkbox" name="ReferralSource[]" id="newspaper" value="Newspaper" />
<label for="newspaper">Newspaper Ad</label>
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="ReferralSource[]" id="television" value="Television" />
<label for="television">Television Ad</label>
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="ReferralSource[]" id="web" value="Website" />
<label for="web">Web Site</label>
<br />
<br />
<label for="comments">Comments</label>
<br />
<textarea id="comments" name="comments" cols="40" rows="10"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
