You are making a wise decision moving away from formmail.cgi!

It is impossible to hide JavaScript from the user.  There will always be a way
for the user to decode your obfuscations and get at the info, so don't trust any
clientside info.  Especially when dealing with an email address.  This is one of
the reasons why formmail.cgi was so bad, since it was easy to SPAM through...

> Therefore, I want to migrate to TFMail to process these HTML forms.

You are asking this question on the CGI::Application mailing list, so I don't
know how much help you will find here.  A better place to ask would be on the
NMS mailing list, since TFMail is one of their packages.  See the following URL
for more info on their support services:

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/support.html

But, since you asked on the CGI::Application mailing list, I can point you to
the demo application that is distributed with CGI::Application, which is
conveniently enough a form mailer.  Do a perldoc on CGI::Application::Mailform
for more information.  You might have more luck with it, since it is quite a bit
simpler than TFMail, although it doesn't have nearly the same amount of features...

Cheers,

Cees
