I thought about something like that - actually without a web form, but with a CGI script that takes the input via the URL library and forwards it to the normal email address. That would be dead simple to implement. I did it via the standard mail client because a) > The drawback would be that there would have to be a webserver running > a mailer script, that would have to be high uptime, and maybe could be > abused. .. which would have to be installed, even though we can effectively prevent abuse. b) the reports sent through the form are not guaranteed to contain a decent e-mail return address, which is pretty important for follow-up questions. If sent through the e-mail client on the user's machine, there will be a correct return address.
