Q: We need an HTTP form mail solution for a web site we're building. But here's the rub. We have a searchable database that can bring back any of 1120 people. We have an icon next to each name that says "Click to email." We want an HTML form mail that will take the data value for the user's email address, embed it in a form for the end user to fill out, and let the end-user submit the form -- without being able to see the recipient's email address. So it is not a hard-coded HTML page. The value of the email address being sent to will vary depending on the search query. Do you think your product could do this? It would need to be able to read the query result for the user's email and then generate a form that concealed the recipient address. Basically we have an online member directory and want members to be able to email other members. But we do not want people harvesting email addresses.

A: Using Form1 you can sent the Delivery Email with 2 hidden fields. This can be used to set the users email address from your database, it does not display the email address and it is not included in the form code as an email address only the components of the email address. You would need some script to extract and add the email components to the form. Another (better) option would be to pass an id number in the form or as a query in the url and then add some processing script to the form to return the required email address from the database. This has the advantage that only the id number is ever available to users never any other details. This would required additional development work to implement and depend upon your database interface.
