I have just run that stack on a computer at my school which has no 
e-mail client configured:

clicking the button resulted in absolutely nothing.

What I would love is a way for a way for a stack to "phone home" when an 
end-user clicks on a button

[Quick clarification here: I don't mean "phone home" in a sneaky, 
underhand sort of way which some software does, but send an e-mail 
message to some e-mail address when an end-user clicks on a button and 
asks them if they object to a message being sent]

Preferably this would be WITHOUT the message having to go via the 
client's e-mail system as:

1.  The message should be anonymous.

2.  The end-user may have no e-mail client configured.
