[thelist] Email Form

hey

I think you might be able to put:

<form method="post"  action="adtech-web at camarilla.white-wolf.com"
enctype="text/plain">

(no mailto:)

but this just gives you a whole load of name/value pairs which are hard to
decipher in their plain-text format.

If you had like two questions I would do it this way. Otherwise a script is
deffo the way to go.

Cheers
Nicky
