How to send (email) a form to the form owner

You can generate an email response from an HTML web page [providing that the visitor is using Netscape (it doesn't work with Microsoft's Internet Explorer or most other browsers)] by using the following syntax:

What you receive looks like this:

ORIGIN=USA&OTHER+ORIGIN=&How=Recommendation&more+
how=alt.usenet.off-line-reader.forte-agent
&First+Visit=yes&ACCESS=Other+non-UK+Internet+Provider&OTHER+Provider=cris.com&
Happy=yes&useful=Very+Useful&OTHER+useful=&address=&COMMENTS= 

And if you process it via a script (such as the one used in the above example), the final form could look like;

ORIGIN=USA
OTHER ORIGIN=
How=Recommendation
more how=alt.usenet.off-line-reader.forte-agent
First Visit=yes
ACCESS=Other non-UK Internet Provider
OTHER Provider=cris.com
Happy=yes
useful=Very Useful
OTHER useful=
address=
COMMENTS=

If you are dealing with several different forms you may want to keep track of what's coming from where. One partial solution is to include a line like the following at the beginning of your form:

This field is invisible to the user, but appears in the form that arrives in your email.
