Best way for user to email site admin?

[Daniel Hilton]

Hi all,

I'm getting a bit confused as to the best way to allow a site user to email the
site admin. Either an email component, form handler or form with submit button?

I only want the user to supply their email address, the message header and the
message body (restricted to plain text).

I DO NOT want the email address of the admin to be seen in order to avoid those
damm spammers - I expect it to reside in a server side file somewhere.

I would really like the solution to use the nice built in Capcha thing.

I'm using NOF10 - I posted here as the NOF10 newsgroup is not very active yet.

Any help?

Dan.

Based on your desires I would just create a graphic that is not hyperlinked
but with the actual email address. Or, use a FLASH based form mail.

Thanks, but I meant 'hidden' as in 'hidden in a file on the server'.

But yes the flash buttons are good for certain info like email addreses.

I have found that the form manager does almost what I wanted, except that it is
difficult to add any custom text eg the message it sends to the user and the
admin is in a file used by all forms on the site. The only way to customise
appears to be the email from field!

try the coffeecup demo or send something through my site
www.northstarmultimedia.com and it does just that.
