I'm reposting the script, somehow my script formatting got mangled!

<?php
    $email=$_POST["email"];
    $subject="Thanks for your comments";
    $message="Dear".$_POST["firstname"].",\n";
    $message.="Thank you for posting the followingcomments: -\n\n";
    $message.=$_POST["comment"];
    $dummy=mail($email, $subject,$message);
        if($dummy)
        {
            echo "Thank you for your comments.We have e-mailed you";
        }
?>
