Instalation Instructios for HTMaiLer 1.5

The installation proces is very simple, just follow this minor steps:

1.Unzip HTMaiLer.zip to the path you want to put the program in your CGI directory (Example: c:\webfiles\cgi-bin\htmailer\)

2.Ensure you have the following files:

a) HTML Custom Look Files:

b)	Program files

	htmailer.cfg		Configuration file
	htmailer.exe		CGI program

c) 	Gif Images
	I include some gif images for use with the program. You can use your own ones.

3.Edit HTMaiLer.cfg to indicate your settings such as mail server default domain name,
  cgi directory, etc.

	The following options NEED TO BE CONFIGURED to suit your site's configuration:

	CGI-DIR         The URL path to the htmailer directory. (It must finish with a slash "/")
	PATH-FILES	The DOS path to the directory on the server where the downloadable files will be placed. (It must finish with a backslash "\")
	URL-FILES	The URL path to the directory on the server where the downloadable files will be placed, It needs to point to the same place by the PATH-FILES dir. (It must finish with a slash "/")
	SERVER 		The mail server's DNS name or address

	* For an explanation of each of the directives in the htmailer.cfg file read directives.txt.

  If you wish, you can edit the default messages in this file too. For these messages,
  you can include HTML tags.

4.Edit HTMaiLer.HTML to use your correct cgi directory.

5.Edit the rest of the HTML files (not necesary to run the program) to give the answer,
  pages your custom look.

6.Make sure you make a link to your cgi directory /cgi-bin/htmailer/htmailer.exe? (or 
  whatever your real URL will be) so users can access the Program.


------------------------ HTML-FORM to MAIL feature instrucctios --------------------------------------
To use the program's feature to send mail from a form just put a link with the folowing format:

/cgi-dir/subdir/htmailer.exe?action=mailto&sendto=who@mail.server&subject=subect-text&return=***

where
/cgi-dir/subdir/ is the URL path where you put the htmailer.exe program.
who@mail.server  is the e-mail address to send the mail to.
subject-text     is the subject of the message. it can contain spaces in the form of the http format
                 (ie the%20subject will be "the subject")
***              This is the URL the user will be able to return when the mail is sent
                 if you replace this URL with the text [HERE] then the return URL will be 
                 the page from where the link was selected.
		 (NOTE: The *** is not a real address, it's used here for example porpouses)
