I have a lazy client who gets about 5 emails from his site from a form in flash, he's too lazy to click the email link in the email and wants to be able to press the reply button (tosser), is there an easy way to achieve this or is it a more complex PHP issue?
(I have already told him its not worth it and that he should pull his finger out of his arse btw but thought I would check)

To:Name

ikbenvan: I need to reply to whatever email address the user enters into a text field within flash, will that work if I just enter the variable name of the field?

I just sent you two PHP emailers. Reallly simple to set up.
They should work. One does, for sure, but it's been confusing once in a while (the one on my old site http://www.emotion7.com).
