Believe me - I understand you have a CPAN module for replying via
e-mail (I seen it) - http://search.cpan.org/~gunnar/ - however
wouldn't it be simple to just display the response and not mail it?
Communication doent have to flow from the WWW-to-SMTP.
Thanks, now I see what you mean.
Well, I'm not *saying* anything in the email; it's simply a copy of
the message they send via the form.
If it hadn't been for the spammers, personally I would just have made
use of mailto-links (as I once did...). When sending a message via my
email client, I have the habit of saving a copy, and store it in an
appropriate folder. That's how I organize my email correspondence. My
thought with having the script email a copy to the person who sends a
message via the contact form is that it makes it easy to save the copy
in the same manner as other outgoing email messages. That's what I
mean when talking about convenience.
While realizing that you can look at this differently, the solution
makes sense to me, and CGI::ContactForm was designed accordingly. So
far, nobody who is using (or thinking of using) the module has
objected to the fact that it sends a copy of the message to the
sender.
Of course, it would be possible to make the sending of a copy
optional. Maybe something to consider for future versions.
