thanks for the good tips on Matt Wright stuff (and how to get better assistance on Perl debugging) - I have been using Wright's scripts (mostly the FormMail one) for years and had no idea they weren't secure. I just assumed that since you could limit the referring page addresses to your own domain that no one but me could use the script or my mailserver to send emails.

I'll see what I can come up with using the NMS FormMail and hopefully cludge through removing the extraneous text in order to send the shortest possible email.

(BTW if anyone else wants to tell me what chunks of the nms formMail code to remove in order to minimize email length, please do so!)

Thanks again!
