Can I send an email without referencing a database

Hi

I think that this probably isn't possible, but I was wondering whether I can use Filemaker to send an email from a form. I already know how to do this with the -mailto, --mailsub, -mailhost, -mailformat, etc tags in a form, but I have a query form in a Filemaker site and would like whatever is entered into it to be sent to me without adding anything to a database.

ie. the -mailformat file would include data entered into the form but that data isn't added to any databases.

Basically I want to use Filemaker Web Companion as a formmail CGI.

Any ideas?

I think you can send email and display nothing from database and the error page will be your Thank You page. I didn't try that.

Or you can always post to the same database and possibly to first record if you use -edit record 1.
