Check out the email page...

I've set up the basics of this, and made sure it works.  The emails it generates need to be prettied up a bit, but essentially everything is in place.

Similar to the page at the LZG site, the visitor selects a recipient, types their email, does a spam test, and clicks send.  The difference mainly for both senders and recipients is the spam test.  The old spam test was... primitive to say the least.  Best I could do at the time with the resources, in my defence...!  The result was that some spam was still sent - weird stuff that tried to get you to click links to oddly named websites that would no doubt have done drive-by virus installations or something equally horrid.

The new spam system, though, should be much better for us.  Also for recipients, while these sorts of spam test can be a pain in the bum, the process is pretty familiar to everyone, so no great surprises.

Try sending me a couple of emails (I'm the "web admin" and "general enquiry" addresses at the moment) to test it out... please let me know if you come across any bugs.
