That is not a good alternative, unless every possible web user has an Imail
account. The best possible way to ensure you get contact from all users
whether they have an email client or not, is to use a web-based form that
sends email. If you are on NT/2000 web servers, frontpage extensions or
aspemail will do this. Unix servers can have a very simple cgi script that
calls sendmail.
