[thelist] Code to send a hidden message that includes a subscribers e-mail address

CODE TO SEND A HIDDEN MESSAGE THAT INCLUDES A NEW SUBSCRIBERS EMAIL ADDRESS
AS PART OF THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE

I need to send an e-mail from a form to a mail server subscribing or
unsubscribing a new member to an e-mail forum. I have been given
instructions as to what needs to be done. I now need to know how it is done.


the mail must be sent to mdaemon at thewebsite.org


the subject does not matter


the body of the messages must be formatted to include one of these:

subscribe thelist at thewebsite.org newuser at some.com
or
unsubscribe thelist at thewebsite.org newuser at some.com



That is it. In the code I would have to replace the newuser at some.com with
the e-mail address of the person from the web site. How is this done?

Now someone has told me that this is not possible in JavaScript. He said I
would need to use a server side language to send the email - such as php,
asp, asp.net. Is this true?
