Using cgi-email

Cgi-email is a compiled script that uses a text file to format and email the contents of a web form. When creating your text file, remember to upload it in ASCII form

1. Create your form and a mail.txt file.
2. Replace 'YourDomain' in the form with your domain.
3. Edit the form to have the input areas you like and add the HTML and BODY tags to the page.
4. Edit mail.txt to use that input.
5. Have your variables start with the name required- if you want to require that the user input these fields. (Like 'required-to' in the example.)
6. You may alter the success variable in the HTML form to change the message displayed after filling it out.
7. If you were editing off-line, upload the files.
8. Try it, and see how it works.
