Title: Problem with Email using IE and Outlook
Post by blange on Apr 7^th, 2003, 7:07am

I have a page that I want emailed. I set it up according to the instruction manual and it works however the user first receives two warning messages.

The first from IE warning about the fact that your email address will be exposed. Is that OK.

The second from Outlook warning that someone is using your computer to send an email.

Is there some way to prevent these messages from being displayed? See it at hmglassworks.com

A form submitted by email always shows a warning.

To avoid this, you should use instead a "script" on the server.

You can do this by using the POST or GET tab of the "form start marker" (the little icon that the program places before the first element of each form).

Inside this tab you will insert the URL of this script, provided by your host (for example http://yourhost.com/cgi-sys/formmail.pl ).

Please notice that with a POST or GET mailform, the "to" address for the email (i.e. your email address, i.e. the email address that receives the data sent by your form) is not supplied directly as in the normal "mail" form.

The "to" address has usually to be included as "Hidden" form element.
This means you will use "Insert >Form element" then "Hidden" then
identifier=email
value=youremail@yourisp.com
These parameters change, each script might have different parameters.

Please ask detailed specifications to your host as each host uses different scripts.
You might point your host to this page and to the free EasyWebEditor / 1Site trial, so they will be able to help you with more detail.
