select form value isn't posting

[jojoroo56]

I'm having an issue that I just can't seem to figure out. I've created a simple contact form that includes a dropdown selection field. When the form is submitted the information is supposed to be sent in an email message. For some reason no matter what I do the email message posts all the other form field information, and even posts the label for the selector, it just doesn't post the value selcted from the drop down. I can't figure out why this isn't working and it's driving me nuts! I hope someone can help. The codes are below to review. Thanks!

 

Here's the code for the contact form and below that is the send php:

<form action="" method="post" class="ajax_form">
		<fieldset><?php if (!isset($error) || $error == true){ ?><legend><span>To Contact Michael Directly</span></legend>
