How do I fill email subject line in form? 4

[Jeanne]

I have several forms that submit to the same email and want to have the subject line filled out to differentiate between them. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Well, I figured it out. I had entered:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;SUBJECT&quot; value=&quot;Customer List&quot;>

what I needed to enter was &quot;subject&quot;...

Description:
Create comprehensive mailto links using the instructions and code shown below. Configure To, CC, Bcc, Subject, and Body information!

Directions:
Below you will find the code required to create a complete mailto link. Read a little about the configurations that are possible so you will know how to edit the code.

mailto: can do more than provide a way to send email to you from your site. When used as an <A HREF> tag, one email can be sent to multiple addresses. Not only that, but any combination of those addresses can be tagged as To: (regular), Cc: (carbon copy), or Bcc: (blind carbon copy) addresses. You can also set default text for the Subject: line and the email body!

Mailto links can send email to multiple recipients. Add additional email addresses after the first, separated by a comma:

example: <a href=&quot; mailto: email1@email.com, email2@email.com, email3@email.com&quot;>

You can select additional email commands as well:

Sender is the person who selects the mailto: link
Recipient is the person who will receive the mailto: email

TO ( same as using comma in the mailto: line)
Recipient's name will appear in the To: line, along with all the other To: addresses. Sender will see all addresses in the To: line. Recipient will see all addresses in the To: line. Can be changed by Sender.

CC ( carbon copy)
Recipient's name will be in the Cc: line, along with all the other Cc: addressees. Sender will see all addresses in the Cc: line. Recipient will see all addresses in the Cc: line. Can be changed by Sender.

BCC ( blind carbon copy)
Recipient's name will appear in the Bcc: line, along with all the other Bcc: addresses. Sender will see all addresses in the Bcc: line. Recipient will see no addresses in the Bcc: line. Can be changed by Sender.

SUBJECT ( default text for subject line)
Text following this command will appear in the Subject: line. Can be changed by Sender.
BODY ( default text for email body)
Text following this command will appear in the Body of the email. Can be changed by Sender.

Complete example:

<a href=&quot;mailto:contact@cgiscript.net, contact1@cgiscript.net?subject=Mailto Test Subject text&cc=contact3@cgiscript.net&bcc=contact4@cgiscript.net&body=Test mailto body message&quot;>Test Mailto Link</a>

Thanks, Mike.

I forgot to mention that I am using email.cgi AppleScript for Mac for my forms.

I am also trying to use the email.cgi in a site with frames and I want to put my form on the navigation frame (leftFrame) and direct the redirect page to the mainFrame.  I entered:
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;redirect&quot; value=&quot;

http://www.somepage.com/asbdirect.html&quot;;

target=&quot;mainFrame&quot;>
I didn't see any instructions regarding a target, so I just put it where I thought it should go, but it doesn't work.  My redirect page shows up on the left (navigation) frame.

I posted this request on the CGI forum with no response, so today I posted it on the JavaScript forum.

It may be that this is not possible.

Thanks again for your help.
