in reply to Mail Poster For website pages

If they know how to visit a web page to see the blessing, they almost certainly can visit a slightly different URL (password protected) to add a blessing. Make it a web form.

Trying to go from email to web is asking for trouble, both from a security perspective, and from people hellbent on making it ugly. Not to mention decoding all the MIME-encrusted email that's out there, with 37 settings for it all.

    Excellent advice from merlyn above.

    If you're concerned about people having to type HTML into a web form, consider using Text::WikiFormat (alt. link) by our own chromatic. It makes HTML out of "wiki format" text, which should be pretty easy for even Joe Average to figure out. It allows making paragraphs, lists, etc., just by plain-text formatting.

      I was going to suggest your column on authenticated updates but for the less than technically savvy, PGP is a pain.
