Help with Jack's FormMail

I am trying to use Jack's FormMail script
(http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail). Since I'm brand new at PHP
and not very good at HTML, I have an easy question, which I will narrow
down. When the email arrives, it has this information:

v_firstname: asdf
v_lastname: asdf
b_email: as**@bellsouth.net
v_phone: asdf
v_cellphone: asdf
v_address: fdsa
v_city: fdsa
v_zip: 23432
v_interested: join
v_volunteer: on
Submit: Submit

The data is collected by an HTML file called volunteer.htm and is passed
to formmail.php. The only place that "v_firstname" appears in
volunteer.htm is here:

<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">First name&nbsp;<input
type="text" name="v_firstname" maxlength="15">

v_firstname does not appear in formmail.php.

So, the question is, what do I need to edit to get rid of "v_firstname:
" in the email?

Thanks!

Here is the formmail.php:

<?

// for ultimate security, use this instead of using the form
$recipient = "yo*******@domain.com"; // yo*******@domain.com

// bcc emails (separate multiples with commas (,))
$bcc = "";

// referers.. domains/ips that you will allow forms to
// reside on.
$referers = array ('domain.com', ' 4.2.2.4');

// banned emails, these will be email addresses of people
// who are blocked from using the script (requested)
$banlist = ""; // array ('*@somedomain.com', 'u***@domain.com',
'e**@domains.com');

// field / value seperator
define("SEPARATOR", ($separator)?$separator:": ");

// content newline
define("NEWLINE", ($newline)?$newline:"\n");

// formmail version (for debugging mostly)
