Show E-Mail on a Web Page?

[Alex]

Is there a way to have e-mail sent to a specific address
([email protected]) show up on a page within that site? (I am building
the site with FP 2003, if that is relevant.)

In other words, I'd like the message to appear automatically, or after a
link is clicked, without requiring a user to use Horde, Neomail, etc.

I'm aware of the risks of spam bots harvesting the address and so on. This
is a site intended to demo a new service (not e-mail related), and "real
people" won't be using the addresses.

Thanks,

Alex

I assume you mean that you want the message to appear on the site *from
which* the email is being sent, in fact on the same page from which the
info. to be sent in the email is being gathered.

Well, you could put a hidden iframe on the page, create a form in which
info. is gathered, use a script to generate the email from the form info.
and *at the same time* (or just afterwards to be more precise) write the
same info. into the iframe and unhide the iframe.

It wouldn't be an exact copy of the email with the To: CC: and Subject:
fields in nice boxes at the top, but you could display these even if not in
the same format as in the email. (This format depends on the email client
anyway - whether Outook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)

Are you with me?
I could write some code if you want.

Yes, if you can locate a mail server application that allow it.

Trevor,
Thanks, but I was unclear. I want the e-mail to appear on the site that
RECEIVES it.
In other words, (e-mail address removed) sends a message to
(e-mail address removed). On the destination.com site, "recipient" sees
something -- a "you have mail" alert plus a link to the message, or the full
text of the e-mail.
I guess what I am looking for is a plug-in that allows me to put a
slimmed-down version of Horde or Squirrel or the equivalent, on a page
within the website, either with or without password protection.

You will need a mail server application the offers a WebMail feature.
