Re: Forms revisited

Using mailto as a form processor is highly undesirable, due to the 
points you make below.  I would suggest that you investigate a proper 
form processing software that will allow you to avoid the pitfalls of 
mailto.


for a free solution, try:

for a more robust form processor, try:

for a free solution, (although not nearly as robust) try:
www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml

Hope this helps,
Gordon
