New Form Information

These forms are DMARC violations waiting to happen.

[Sporkyy]

They can both be replaced with front-end code to generate pre-written subjects and bodies that open in the default mail client. That will require an email client, but these are email lists, so it's a safe assumption. That will solve the DMARC problem as well.

[cinakur]

so instead of a form, it'll be "Hello, please add me to this list"?

[Sporkyy]

It will be a form, but instead of submitting to a backend CFML page, it generates a mailto: link.

It will get a subject and body like here https://css-tricks.com/snippets/html/mailto-links/

It will also solve the DMARC issue that I keep harping about

[Sporkyy]

The same solution can solve #24 too.

[Sporkyy]

24 and #26 should spin off another repo to hold "simplified" versions of the form before trying to integrate them into the IT site.
