Default capturing data FROM a merge document

I am emailing an HTML document to people who attended a seminar we put
on last week. I am using WORD with data from an EXCEL spreadsheet as
the merge source. The merge field I am interested in is called
"EMAIL" and, to no one's surprise, is the recipient's email address.
On this HTML document I have a hyperlink that sends the recpient to an
HTML form located on our website where they are asked to complete a
five question survey. I will have no problem capturing their
responses; however, I also want to capture the email address of those
who reply.

How can I capture the email address that has been merged into the
original HTML document?

Just add the email as the querystring at the end of the url you generate
into the Word document. And have whatever script the url resolves to copy
the email from the url into a form field.

I suppose I should have asked for the format for referencing the merge
field. I have tried {MAILMERGE email}, EMAIL, etc. and I always
get that string rather than the value. How do I reference the merge
field?

{ MERGEFIELD email }

The {} have to be the special field code braces you can insert using ctrl-F9
