My experience is that not all browsers are capable of sending email. Many
people do not configure their browser to do email because they use a
separate program. Still others download the barebones browser without email
capability.
What I am leading up to here is that unless you know all the viewers are
capable of doing email via their browser, like a corporate Intranet, then
you should look for another way of doing this. Since you want a complex
form able to do cool things, you might want to look at a CGI program that
allows this. I use AlphaMail for this.
Since you are using FP you might also consider an ASP mailer but I am just
getting into ASP and not able to help in that direction. (yet)
