I was wondering if there was a way to get the user's email so I can get the "from" email address of the person sending the email. This is on a NT for Netscape CGI mail script. I see under Browser "Mail and Newsgroups Identify preference" shows user email address. Any environment variables or something I could use to get this email so I dont have to rely on people entering their email address everytime they submit my mail form?

Here is part of my email script: 
$destination = 'jenkinsr.hotmail.com';
$from = 'environment_variable';  #I need the variable here.

open (MAIL,"|$sendmail") || die "Can't open  sendmail pipe: $!\n";

print MAIL <<"EOF";
To: $destination
From: $from
Subject:  Certify Report

$information
EOF
