What are the advantages/disadvantages of using this form submission approach
as opposed to eg: Cdo, aspEmail - it appears to harness the MS standard
mailto capability?:
<FORM ENCTYPE="text/plain" NAME="test" METHOD='POST'
ACTION='mailto: in**@examle.com ?subject=Resume ' onSubmit="retur n

Not everyone has a default mail reader at all, and some use default mail
readers that do not support this form action=mailto.
And for those where the technology *does* work, it's very easy for the end
user to either cancel the sending of the form or to alter the
from/to/body/subject of the e-mail before sending.
Handling the mail on the server side gives you much greater control, and
does not render your app useless when it relies on missing client
requirements.
The biggest advantage is that using something like aspEmail (which we use
and love) gives you a TON more control over what gets sent. It is also a LOT
more professional.
You can format, validate, set priority, attach files, send as HTML or
Multipart, and do almost anything you want to a message if you run it
through aspEmail or another component like that. A simple mailto: form won't
allow you to do any of that, and some browsers even warn before submitting
with somthing like "This form is being submitted via email - do you want to
continue?"
Using components gives you more control and is a lot more compatible.

I have set up a form with some basic input data, e.g. Name, Address,
Telephone number and a few selections from drop-down menus; and a submit
button.
I am using "mailto" to send the contents of the form when completed to an
e-mail address; however I want the information from the form to be formatted
in a particular way in the e-mails that are submitted. Can someone point me
in the right direction here.
Thanks

I don't have access to a server-side solution, so I guess Javascript
is my only choice.
I want to pass a bunch of form fields to an email, but unsure of how
to add the multiple fields into the body section.
What I want to add is the "dropdown" data merged into the body of the

I found this example code (that works just the way I want it to,
except I want to add more data).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
