lcTim Murphy. Also, CGI Email intercept
Hi John, > > I see we're both working (or is it playing?) at the same time. for me there is little difference between work and play :) > Is it OK to keep putting all our Email's onto the website? It OK but I question if the current structure is the best one. > 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. > What do you want?
