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:-

Hi Steve,
Please note the following extract from a recent Email I sent to Tim Murphy.

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.

Can we actually do it?
If so could you point me in the right direction.
