The application is just something I'm playing with to learn a little bit on 
web apps.  It uses an HTML form to send an email.  The form takes inputs 
like the From:, To: and Subject: fields and a text field.

I found the "Internet Protocols and Support" chapter in the Library 
Reference that covers also the CGIHTTPServer.  It's definitely something I 
will have to read.  Thanks.
