I find that the *least* puzzling part of the whole process. Matt
Wright's FormMail.pl is notoriously buggy, at least among Perl wizards.
It has a good rep only because it is omnipresent on the web. Matt
Wright is a really nice guy with a lot more patience and tolerance
for getting bashed about his code than most people I've ever met.
But remember: he wrote these programs as a fourteen-year-old teaching
himself Perl! He's a freshman in college this year and has way too
much to do to upgrade these toys which he considers to be alpha or beta
at best. I wouldn't dream of letting other people see the code *I*
wrote when I was fourteen and teaching myself a programming language.
But then I'm so old that I went to Charles Babbage for tips. :-)

Well, that is pretty puzzling. Getting PWS working with *anything*
automatically qualifies you as talented. :-) Still, you have to
expect that some programs are going to make that little tweak to
get sendmail working. I believe that a *lot* of MUA's will do this
for you under fairly generic settings, and IIRC there is a sendmail
switch that can help with that too.
