Subject: Form posted from Mozilla
Forgive this blanket post, but I accidentally erased the message from
the person who was looking for a way to subscribe people to a list
directly from the Web. I directed them to look at my webpage for an
example of what I had done for this; this is an extremely complex
example of what can be done.
A much simpler coding would is this example (where *****-l would be
the name of your list and the address inside the
FORM ACTION="mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" is your own e-mail address):
---------------------------CUT HERE-----------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Subscribe</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>To subscribe to the *****-l list, fill out the following
information and press "submit"</h3>
<FORM ACTION="mailto:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" METHOD="POST">
<p><PRE>Your E-mail Address: <INPUT TYPE="" NAME=""
SIZE=40></PRE> <p><PRE>Your First Name / Last Name: <INPUT TYPE=""
NAME="" SIZE=40></PRE> <p><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit" > <INPUT
TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"></p>
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
---------------------------CUT HERE----------------------------------
This will be confusing as it's broken up by the mailer carriage
return, but every line after the <FORM ACTION... line ends with
</PRE> or </p>
It generates a response (which has "Form posted from Mozilla" in it's
Subject area) that looks like this:
[log in to unmask]&=Randy+McCall
from which you can easily see the person's name and address; you can
then subscribe them by hand.
Unfortunately, it would require a knowledge of CGI programming to be
able to create a self-subscribing page; this is beyond both my
talents and what my server will allow.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
