                          --------------------                          

A Form Mail cgi script

A Python clone of the well-known cgiemail script, with added features
and flexibility. This script allows you to set up an HTML form on your
website, to collect information from your site's visitors, and send a
very nicely formatted e-mail to yourself, or other e-mail addresses.

Comes with sample forms and templates. Cross-platform. Under continuing
development. I am looking for testers for this script.

NEW in version 0.6.0 (from the change log):

version 0.6.0 beta - 2000.5.28
	-Wrote an html document file instead of the help.txt file. Much
	more extensive documentation.
	-Changed the way that a field is exempted from a check for 	
	headers	inserted by a hacker. Removed the previous noverify tag 
	from the form field names. Now this is handled by putting an 
	additional line in the config file of the form 
	values-FormFieldName = <list>.
	-Added a confirm- option. Now two fields can both check for the
	same data and verify that the input matches (such as for 
	confirming passwords, and the like).
	-Check for CRLF characters in the message body text and replaced
	them with LF characters, to prevent double line spacing in some
	situations.
	-Moved most configuration information from the main gypsymail.py
	file to a separate configuration file. This allows for the main
	script to run different forms with different configuration 
	options.
	-Moved many of the functions used by the main script to a 
	separate file, gypsyutils.py.
