form email to RevCGI

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Chris,

First of all, the e-mail clients I sue let me turn off all the  
features that I would need to fill your your web forms and that's  
exactly what I did. I read my e-mail in text format only and if  
someone sends me an html formatted e-mail with too much of gibberich,  
I return a kind request for a text-only mail.

Having that said, I can't remember if you already told us whether  
you're using a POST or GET method. I can imagine that an e-mail  
client is not advanced enough to do a POST but you can always use GET  
because that's a simple url.

I didn't connect to a Rev CGI engine from an e-mail client, but I did  
from browsers as well as Revolution itself. Getting a URL was never  
troublesome.

Best,

Mark
