I want to take a moment here to agree violently.

I *HATE* mail forms, with an unbridled passion.  The worse thing,
Barry, which you neglect to mention, is that you don't get a copy in
your Sent folder either.  Some cgi's are at least polite enough to CC
you, but they're few and far between.

No: Down With MailForms.
