[WEB4LIB] Coding formfeeds in email with Javascript

[Stephen Treger]

I have been doing extensive work of this type. One such example is a online 
Absence Request Form. I get around these problems by coding the results in 
HTML. My CGI is a perl script that generates rich text email messages.

The result looks fine in all email client capable of rich text, and mirrors 
what is seen via a browser.
