Mail form code

Will it though Rev?? I thought the mailto: code only opens the default mail client installed on the PC? Wouldnt she need some sort of mail relay or use Perl/PHP to sendMail() ??

I'm not sure it would work at Internet Cafe/kiosk ?!

All depends on how the system is set up and which browser is used. But yeah i agree Perl/PHP would be a better option.

Argh.

I suspected that. The only people I have spoken to have said it launches their em client.
An internet cafe user would need to be logged into their webmail for it to work, then.

Any further thoughts, Rev?

Do you host the sites that you make ?? Are they all hosted on the same server ??

If so,you could use sendmail as advised earlier.

Can't think of any other options at the moment.

That's what I wondered. People who have tested my mailform all say it launches their mail client. Suppose they are in an internate cafe and no mail client is live at the time they use the mailform?
