email forms, Manila

[sdevore at mac.com]

It's easy to do in userTalk, but you need access to the server, if you 
have that then some of the relevant scripts are tcp.sendmail, 
html.getpageTableAddress and string.parseHttpArgs, If you want help 
with this check the docs.userland.com, and or get Matt's Definitive 
Guide To Frontier (available on the web somewhere, try google or it 
might be on his site on tidbits http://www.tidbits.com/matt I think)
