FormMail is an interface used to generate forms with results sent via email.
Only two fields must be added to your existing form for this script to work and for you to begin receiving the results via e-mail.
In addition to these two required fields, other 'hidden' fields can be used to personalize your site's FormMail.

Example of form:
<FORM method=POST action="http://linux.braslink.com/cgi-bin/formmail-ml-por.pl">
<INPUT type=hidden name="
recipient" value="your_email_address">
<INPUT type=hidden name="
braslink_auth" value="domain_name">

<INPUT type=hidden name="redirect" value="
http://www.your_domain.com">
<INPUT type=hidden name=required value="email,realname,subject,message">
Your name:  <INPUT type=text name="realname">
Your Email:  <INPUT type=text name="email">
Subject:      <INPUT type=text name="subject"></TD>
Message:  <TEXTAREA name="message" rows=10 cols=40 size="400" wrap=physical></TEXTAREA>

<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT type="reset" value="Clear">
</FORM>

Configuration:
The ACTION of your form must point to
http://linux.braslink.com/cgi-bin/formmail-ml-por.pl
and the method should be POST or GET in CAPITAL letters.

The first line of your form must be:
<FORM method=POST ou GET action="http://linux.braslink.com/cgi-bin/formmail-ml-por.pl">

If you do not include this field the order will be the same as the one the browser sends the script, which is usually the same order as it appears on the form. If you want to set the order in which the fields will appear in the email you must include 'order' as the first word of the value of the field sort, and  the names of the fields separated by commas, in the order you wish them to appear, immediately after.
