    Not sure, but I must be missing something. How on earth can I stop the form sending unused fields to the entries section?

    The Entry Detail page, by default, only displays fields that have been filled out. The only time the Entry Detail page displays empty fields is if the "Show Empty Fields" checkbox is checked on the Entry Detail page. See this screenshot, it's on the right side: http://i.imgur.com/OCpEi.png

    As far as email notifications go, the {all_fields} merge tag by default returns ALL form fields that have been filled out and doesn't return empty fields. If you have created a custom email notification and are not using the {all_fields} merge tag, that isn't going to happen. The email is going to contain whatever you have added to the message body. That is why it's typically easiest to just make the Notification Message simply be the {all_fields} merge tag which outputs a nicely formatted table that looks like the entry details in the admin.
