Post Forms question
Hi,
I am doing a new page with forms.
At the moment, it is not PHP - just a simple form.
In my testing I found that how the email is sent off depends on both the browser you are using and your email program.
I've done a bit of research and it seems that there really isn't a way to counteract this.

I am wondering if anyone knows if you encounter these same problems if you use PHP.

I know this is an old post, but thought maybe the question was still out there for others. The use of PHP forms and PHPmailer are serverside and do not use the person's email account to send the form to you. Everything is handled on your server. PHP forms in the way to go. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. It seemed to me that the answer might be that way. I am no longer in that job, so don't NEED to know any longer, but I still did wonder. Thanks again.

Wow I hadn't even noticed this post. Thanks Capnahab!
Here is a link that generates PHP, ASP, and Perl forms for you. I don't use it but kudos to the website for the offering.
