Questions tagged [mail-form]

Mail forms are a user interaction pattern where a user enters mail contents into an HTML form and some program constructs an email message from that and sends it. Typical use cases are contact forms on personal homepages, comment forms on hand-moderated weblogs, and bug reporting systems.

Mail forms are among the earliest web technologies, and popular mail form technologies include:

  1. TF Mail in Perl. The venerable FormMail was the oldest widely used CGI mail form program, but is now deprecated.
  2. PHP Mailer includes support for mail forms; there are many easily configured PHP programs to implement mail forms
  3. Wordpress plugins such as cForms
