It is something precicely like this that i am looking for however the 
above code doesn't work for me. I was getting odd page not found errors 
which i imagine were related to the @@MV_PAGE@@ bit so i tried changing 
it to be index. now, no matter what i enter into the email field, or 
even if i enter nothing at all i get passed to the index page with no 
complaints. Wait, make that "i get the following complaints:
192.168.0.145 Ba2unTJd:192.168.0.145 - [29/October/2002:17:56:20 +0000] 
hoi /cgi-bin/hoi/process.html Attempted database update without 
permission, table= key=.
192.168.0.145 Ba2unTJd:192.168.0.145 - [29/October/2002:17:56:23 +0000] 
hoi /cgi-bin/hoi/process.html Attempted database update without 
permission, table= key=."

i'm guessing these are a result of the mv_todo being "set" and possibly 
not related to my problem though.

any ideas?

thanks
