What is it?
A CGI mailing form that can verify from email addresses without revealing
your email, as I do at my Contact Page. Great for making a "Contact Me"
page without worrying about people collecting your email. Also good for
mailing lists and other websites that want to replace all their mailto: links.
Example:
I use it for contacting me on
this very website
Documentation:
Not much right now - read the comments at the top of the CGI.
Here's how it works:
- Someone clicks on a
link to contact you and they go to the first Contact form.
- They enter their email address, and a second URL is mailed
to them.
- When the receive it, they can go to that URL and enter their message
into a form.
The second step allows us to verify their email address without having
to give them ours.
