Need help with a simple HTML form

It's a simple name, address type form that is method=post and enctype=text/plain

Everything works fine except for the drop down that contains all the US states ... whatever choice the user selects does not get sent in the email with the other information.

Code:
<font face="Arial" size="2">State</font><br>
<select size="1">
<option value="">-- Please Select --</option>
<option value="Alabama">Alabama</option>
<option value="Alaska">Alaska</option>
----snippet for length sake here----
<option value="Wyoming">Wyoming</option>
</select>
No tutorial mentions anything else for drop downs.
So what am I missing that a drop down selection doesn't get sent?

Thanks in advance

EDITED: Dear lord, figured it out - obvious = forgot the "name" value in the select area (ie, name="State:"). New it was something obvious!
