I'm making a new web site called



www.marginalerror.com



The domain forwarding may not be active yet so use this address if its not working...



marginalerror.com



I have a few questions. My webserver does not have any database software available, CGI script stuff, etc.



I need to do a few things.



1. Is there any way to submit an e-mail with attachment right from the website- no e-mail program required for free?



2. Is there any way to put text into the body of an e-mail with a "mailto:" link?



3. Is there any way to make the postings searchable and sortable without using a database?

    Does no CGI stuff mean no PHP/ASP/JSP?



    If not that makes things much more difficult if not impossible for most of that stuff.



    #1 you need some kind of scripting language as far as I know...



    #2 mailto:[email protected]?subject=subject line&body=this goes in the body



    #3 If you have some kind of scripting language this is relatively easy - you use flat files instead of putting things in a database (so every post would be a separate file created by your scripting language...). Basically a database without a database... Forums like InfoPop do things like this (at least they used to)...
