This is a sample "form" which I've set up to use Meng Weng Wong's generously provided 'mailto.cgi' script located on a server at the University of Pennsylvania. When you fill information into this form and submit it, the information is routed through the 'upenn' server and on to your email address. There are also other servers which have cgi scripts set up to perform this free service, but this particular version is very flexible and reliable. If your own institutional server supports mailto-cgi scripting (and has a Perl script already set up), you can substitute the URL that your webmaster can provide for the "ACTION" parameter.
The only required HTML and parameters for this to work are:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://icg.resnet.upenn.edu/mailto.cgi">This actually provides you with no useful information though, so of course you will want to create some INPUT fields to gather relevant feedback. Many other "INPUT TYPE" parameters are available to allow for different kinds of informational responses. Examples of some of them are included in in the sample form below. View the 'document source' and copy the HTML that you need to use for your own form.<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="to" VALUE="your email address">
</FORM>
The definitions for all 'NAME' parameters should be lowercase. For example, NAME="to" works, but NAME="TO" doesn't.
