You need to write out a 'Content-type' header when form_ok is true, too!

It's the lack of that header that causes the 500 error. If you're pretty
sure your content is going to be text/html, it can be good practice to write
out the content header before any other code.

P.S. What's with the 'spamcop' reply address? Is that your real address or
do unsuspecting helpful responders get their mail accounts terminated?
