Sending confirmatory email after form posting

[BobAJob123]

Problem: client has trouble receiving encrypted emails from an enquiry form - prob anti spam filters. One solution would be to have encrypted emails sent to a web based email address insterad of his normal address.

To make system work, client has to know there is an encrypted waiting for him in web based mailbox. Is there a way for him to receive automated notification?

Possible solutions:
* Submit button sending to 2 seperate form handlers seems a non starter.
* When existing form is submitted to send encrypted email, user is sent to 'thank you' page as normal. Could this thank you page trigger an unencrypted email (via a seperate cgi script)to client - a 'you've got mail' type of thing? Getting user to click another submit button on thank you page isn't 100% watertight (ie they might not do it) although it would be a fall back position.

Suggestions gratefully accepted.

the target script for the form should send the encrypted email, then send the unencrypted "thank you" email, then return the "thank you" page to the browser.

Thanks

Hadn't properly thought about that one. Having to think now of how to intergrate coding into script to email out a seperate email.
