But Outlook Express, like most Microsoft products, use an embedded version of IE to display HTML documents. Which makes sense, no sense having two HTML rendering engines on the same box. I'm not sure why it WOULDN'T send the post data if the HTML form in email was properly set up with <form action="http://www.server.com/scriptname.php"; method="POST">
Passing it via the URL, as suggested, would fix the problem. You'd retrieve the data with $_GET then. But what would someone do if they didn't have access to the script receiving the information, is the real question. -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 11:48 PM > To: php > Subject: Re: [PHP] Missing $_POST data from a Outlook Express > email form > > > * Thus wrote Eric Wood: > > This is bizarre.
