MAILTO executable

MAILTO.ZIP (both Intel and Alpha versions) will allow you to create your own form and haave the results formated and sent to one (or more) mail addresses. You can specify the name of the mail server, subject of the mail and (if you use the right fields), the mail will appear at your chosen account with the correct user name and email address (so that you can reply to it). The NTMail Key Application Form uses the MAILTO for processing results.

Example

This example is part of the NTMail Key Application Form:
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailto.exe" METHOD="post">
<input type="hidden" NAME="sendto" VALUE="ntmail-SALES@net-shopper.co.uk">
<Input type="hidden" Name="server" value="mail.net-shopper.co.uk">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" value="NTMAIL Key Application Form">
<INPUT type="hidden" NAME="resulturl" value="http://www.net-shopper.co.uk/software/ntmail/done.htm">
<PRE>
<B>Your details:</B*gt
Name:            <INPUT NAME="uname" SIZE=30>
Position:        <INPUT NAME="title" SIZE=30>
Company Name:    <INPUT NAME="company" SIZE=40>
E-Mail:          <INPUT NAME="email" SIZE=30>

Press <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit"> and your request will be processed or
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"> to start again.
We aim to respond within 24 hours.
When the user presses the SUBMIT button, the information is sent to the WWW server which calls /cgi-bin/mailto.exe. MAILTO will read the details sent and format a message which looks something like:
From: A N Other <other@company.com>
To: <ntmail-SALES@net-shopper.co.uk>
Subject: NTMAIL Key Application Form
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 95 13:22:28 GMT+0000

The following form contents were entered on 22nd Jun 95
Date = 22 Jun 95 13:22:26
subject = NTMAIL Key Application Form
uname = A N Other
title = Network Administrator
company = Elephants Inc
email = other@company.com

The Fields

This is a list of fields that the MAILTO will automatically use. All other fields will be decoded and placed into the mail message. If neither resulturl nor resulttxt are displayed, you will see the default "Thankyou" message.

This program has been tested with EMWACs, Alibaba, and Spry/Compuserve's Server.

It does not always work with Netscape Commerce version 1.0 or Netscape Communications Server.

Commercial Version

The commercial version of the MAILTO.EXE program will also allow you to specify:
