Re: Redirect in Formmail

Hi David--

That's the correct path, and according to the instructions for Formmail, the
correct syntax for the URL that I want to redirect people to.  Turns out
that the issue was the path to the cgi script itself--last time the relative
path worked fine for this host, but not this time.  And their tech support
didn't know about such things!

Thanks for your help!

Debbie
