please stay and share before I am bald!

Server and docs all set up but need help with html code for sending and receiving the form to and from the server and cgi-bin so request come back via email to me.

I have read that formMail. cgi scripts are rubbish due to hackers and spammers.

I have downloaded the tfmail and I am RTFM and all I can think about is shoes.

Its all quite old nothing written in 2007 most in 2003-2005, is it all the latest stuff?
