Dynamic Subject Line

I am using the Contact Form from the solution kit. I have added a SELECT box to the form to give me the reason for the contact. I would like to append that selected <option> to the subject line set in the WP_Global so that it displays in the email header. Eventually, I would like that <option> to drive the To: addressee. How hard is this and what path should I take?
Thanks, Karl

in the WA_Globals file, change the subject:

php:
$WAGLOBAL_Contact_Email_Subject = "Online Contact Form Response" ;



to:

php:
$WAGLOBAL_Contact_Email_Subject = "Online Contact Form Response ".isset($_POST['selectListName'])?$_POST['selectListName']:""."" ;



where selectListName is the name of the select list.

the same strategy can be used for the to address, but the value of the select list would nee to pass an email address.

Thanks. Close, but no cigar. Instead of getting the desired "TWWWG Contact Form Response - Website Comment" I get only "Website Comment" without the lead. The code replaced the subject and did not append. I'm too new to know how to append the php file, so here's the WA_Globals line:
$WAGLOBAL_Contact_Email_Subject = "TWWWG Contact Response - ".isset($_POST['Subject'])?$_POST['Subject']:""."" ;
What did I do wrong?
I know we'll get there. Thanks

that code looks correct, it shouldn't be replacing the subject.
