<b>value</b>: {$extra_fields[field].field_value}<br />
{if $extra_fields[field].field eq "ship_by_mail" && $extra_fields[field].field_value ne ""}
{assign var="ship_by_mail" value=$extra_fields[field].field_value}
<b>Ship By Mail:</b> {$ship_by_mail}<br />
{/if}
{/section}

from that code it appears that :
field: Ship by mail
value: Y

but not the <b>Ship By Mail:</b> {$ship_by_mail}<br />
