Hi there,
I got this script working well as
<FORM NAME="mailform" form ACTION="mailto:myself@mydomain.com?Subject=Comment Product Inquiry" METHOD = "POST" ENCTYPE = "text/plain">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" SIZE = 0 NAME="Need Info">

Now I get this error after click submit;
ERROR
The supplied email address 'Name=Tom' is formatted incorrectly. Please resubmit with a properly formatted email address, and make sure that all other fields are correct, as well. Thanks.

<FORM NAME="mailform" FORM ACTION="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" METHOD = "POST" ENCTYPE = "text/plain">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" SIZE = 0 NAME="recipient" value="myself@mydomain.com">

Don't have a problem with this but we are deleting this;

<FORM NAME="mailform" form ACTION="mailto:myself@mydomain.com?Subject=Comment Product Inquiry" METHOD = "POST" ENCTYPE = "text/plain">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" SIZE = 0 NAME="Need Info">


Here is what we need to fix;

<FORM NAME="mailform" FORM ACTION="/cgi-sys/formmail.pl" METHOD = "POST" ENCTYPE = "text/plain">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" SIZE = 0 NAME="recipient" value="myself@mydomain.com">
