I think the payment email subject line is pretty straight forward. You
could have a special email account for paypal and write a small program
that runs on receipt of an email and maybe parse it out for an email
address. Then have the program put a variable in a database and have it
send an email to the user that made a purchase with a special link to their
item.
I am sure something like that could be done. I just don't know how to do
it. :^)
Anthony, if you want to test the email message from paypal, send me a
private email,
Chris
