Form Mail Instructions
FORM MAIL
Form Mail is a WWW Form to Email interface.
It can be used to maintain a guestbook,
take orders online, and many other useful tasks.
The action of your form must point to this script, and the method must be POST:
EXAMPLE: <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/formmail.pl"METHOD=POST>
Next, there is one required field. You have to specify the email address to which you want the results mailed. This is done so like this:
EXAMPLE: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="recipient"VALUE="username@ruralnetwork.net">
Finally, there are any number of optional fields that one can specify. The most useful one is the "redirect", which allows you to point the user to a separate page after submitting the form instead of having them see the "nasty" output of the form mail script.
EXAMPLE: <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="redirect"VALUE="http://www.ruralnetwork.net~username/somepage.html">
www.ruralnetwork.net
