Does anyone know a solution to the following? I have an HTML email signature which has a hyperlink to a one of my web pages embedded in it. The web page is a an HTML (form 2 mail) form for the email recipient to complete which will result in me being emailed the data it captures. But I want to save the recipient from having to add their email address i.e. is there a way of capturing it from the original email and passing it over to the form? The web page is written in .PHP (but I'm not sure if that is relevant). My email program is Outlook express 6. If it can't be done with Outlook express 6, I'm interested in hearing about solutions with later versions of Outlook.

As I see it, the only solution is to manually insert the e-mail address, in the form of <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/page.php?mail=info@webmasterworld.com">, where you can for example embed the mail address in your form using php:

<input type="hidden" name="mail" value="<?php echo $_GET['mail']?>">

Hope this helps.

Thanks, nlmark, but what I was actually after was how to capture it from the email header, programmatically. I.e. using your example <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/page.php?mail=<code here to extract the recipient email address>">.

I suppose I could just cut and paste the email address in, every time I send an email, but that would be a bit of a pain.
