I have created a new class in the admin interface and called it "Email Notification". It has a name, email_address, email_recipient, and note field. I have created an instance of this in my content folder (thus giving it a node_id). The email_address field is set up as an information collector. The idea is that this would be shown on a page as one of those "Join newsletter" sort of things, showing a text field to enter the email address and a submit button. Well, I used the following code to try to put the object in the page but met with a very long text box that I have (seemingly) no control over. Please see code below and let me know if I am going about this all wrong and/or a better method to get this under control. Thanks!

{let tobject=fetch(content,node,hash(node_id,292))
newsletter=$tobject}
<form method="post" action={"content/action"|ezurl}>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
