Sending email from your web forms using FormMail

The action of your form needs to point towards /cgi-bin/FormMail.pl, and the method must be POST or GET in capital letters.
<form action="/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="POST">

Form Fields
There is only one form field that you must have in your form, for FormMail to work correctly. This is the recipient field.

Field: recipient
Description:      This form field allows you to specify to whom you wish for your form results to be mailed. Most likely you will want to configure this option as a hidden form field with a value equal to that of your e-mail address. You can include multiple recipients by separating the values with commas.
Syntax:      

<input type="hidden" value="email@your.host.com" name="recipient" />

Field: subject
Description:      The subject field will allow you to specify the subject that you wish to appear in the e-mail that is sent to you after this form has been filled out. If you do not have this option turned on, then the script will default to a message subject: WWW Form Submission.
Syntax:      

<input type="hidden" value="My Subject" name="subject" />

Field: redirect
Description:      If you wish to redirect the user to a different URL, rather than having them see the default response to the fill-out form, you can use this hidden variable to send them to a pre-made HTML page.
Syntax:      

<input type="hidden" value="http://my.host.com/redirectPage.html" name="redirect" />
