Hi all! Hope this message finds you well.

The context:

I have a Comma Separated Variables file with business contact data. I
wrote a PERL script to e-mail everyone on the list with a form with their
current data in the fields. The script additionally provides an URL to a
page with the same form (and same individual field contents) on our company
website for individuals who use plain text e-mail. The updated data is then
submitted to a CGI script that updates the CSV file.

The problem:

The entire script works well. However, whenever I click on the Submit
button from Outlook, nothing occurs. I'm assuming Outlook disables form
submissions? The process works with other e-mail clients and providers.

The request:

Any help would be wonderful! I'd like to be able to do one of two things:

1) Make the "Submit" button active for Outlook.

or

2) Identify that Outlook is being used and instead present the user with
the plain-text or other option.

How may I do this? Thank you very much in advance!
