form email to RevCGI, solved for GET not POST

[jbv]

Chris,

I'm not 100% sure, but I have the feeling that if the limit on length of the GET
was the cause of your problem, you might see your parameters truncated, bit
not empty...

just curious : what is the average length of the data you're trying to send via
the HTML form ?
