Ran into a slight problem implementing that one Rajesh - getting the
form to submit the form data wasn't quite right with the simple
contect processor you described.
I then hit on the obvious solution: implement the redirection using
the form HTML. Changing that snippet to use /contact/thanks/ did the
trick.
Thanks for allt he help!
