An option that I have used in one app is to have the Rev program post
to a CGI script on a web site. The script then uses sendmail to create
an email. The advantage of this is that it doesn't need the user's own
email client and it desn't require them to enter the address for an
SMTP server. The data posted to the CGI script includes the "To:",
"From:" & "Subject:" headers are the start, and the rest just becomes
the body of the email.

One caveat: my app is very low traffic. I don't know how this would scale.

Cheers,
Sarah
