Well, that *is* a easier way to do it. I had thought of that, but I wasn't
sure if there were enough steps involved. What I don't want is a person
sending spam *though* this interface. How safe do you think this solution is
against that?
It *would* be easier to implement and less cumbersome. Not that the original
idea was hard...
The same script could be used if there are any pages
on the classiccmp web
site where a user could/should have an opportunity to send mail, e.g. to
the site maintainer, members listed as contacts or resources for system
XYZ, etc.
I'm liking this more and more...
