Brief Overview:
The email form takes in 3 parameters, Name, Email and Message:
<input type="text" name="fname">
<input type="text" name="email_add">
<textarea name="email_msg" rows="20" cols="30"></textarea>
<form action="cgi-bin/email_process.cgi" method="post">
The line above tells the form where to send the details for processing and the method used to send the information, in this case post.
If you used the method 'get' then information would be sent tagged onto the url like so:
cgi-bin/email_process.cgi?fname=fred&email_add=fred@fredsemailadd.com&email_msg=hi there
