I think my previous post is still valid, but re-reading it i wonder how you can do ANYTHING
without cgi? That precludes the processing of any form submission, doesn't it?
If so, the best i can imagine (without testing) would be to have your collection of form values
be represented as a string and stuffed into a construct like: <a href='mailto:
user at host.com?subject=valuestring'>Submit</a> This would require that each form object would
cause the "valuestring" to be recomputed and the link updated, and more importantly that the user
wouldn't cancel the message when their mail client opened.
I would be interested to see what solution you come up with, so when you have it working,
please post a reminder/link here for us to check it out.
