ltRe: Tim Murphy. Also, CGI Email intercept
To: Frank Schuurmans <frank@bio.vu.nl> Hi Frank, I see we're both working (or is it playing?) at the same time. I will send off a message to Tim Murphy and ask if he wants to set up a "team" to help us. Is it OK to keep putting all our Email's onto the website? Also you may be interested in the folling Email to my ISP webmaster:- ---------------------[start] Hi Steve, Please note the following extract from a recent Email I sent to Tim Murphy. ----------------------------------------------------------------[start] >The killer application that unlocked the PC was the spreadsheet. From what I have >read (and maybe understood) you seem to be pointing at Web Mail. OK, I see it, It >sends a shiver down my spine! but it needs to happen fast. I think a crude form of Web Mail can be achieved quite quickly with CGI. On each webpage on our site we can have an Email icon that opens a mail message window to "webpage filename"@brain.eu.org - When a punter clicks the icon, writes his message and sends it, it is intercepted by a CGI script instead of the normal Email server. This script can then create a new webpage using our standard template and with the Email message inserted between xmp and /xmp tags at the end of the page. A link will also be put in from the original webpage to the new webpage. The punter will have edited our website! This is not ideal at all. real webneurons could do a whole lot more. -------------------------------------------------------[end] Can we actually do it? If so could you point me in the right direction. ----------------------[end] Regards,
