FormMail
is one of the most popular ways by which to send e-mail
via the web. You can find the FormMail web page at http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml
Digital
Indigo uses Indigo Form Mail (iFormMail). iFormMail offers
most of the features of FormMail, plus extended features,
and better security features. We recommend using iFormMail
in replacement of all FormMail scripts.
To
use iFormMail, create a form similar to the one displayed
below. Text in italics indicates information you will want
to customize to your particular needs. If you need help
with advanced forms and data processing, please contact
Digital Indigo for a solution customized to your specific
application.
