[MacPerl-WebCGI] Re: The SendMail thing

["David Reynolds" <dreynolds@metafor.com>]

Good luck finding a way to do that.  I'd like to know if you get an answer.
The only way I've found is to use Webstar's formmail plugin and write a
script that output all your info into the 4-feild form for the plugin, then
have the output page auto submit.  It's a really dirty solution that has a
lot of drawbacks.

I'd also like to know how to limit the size of files with an http upload,
but I guess thats just asking way too much.
