Has anyone found a way of getting webform.module to send its output to a script instead of an email address?

On my static site I have forms which use
form method="post" action="http://www.healheadingley.org.uk/cgi-bin/cgiemail/forms/object.txt"

This sends the output of the form to Cgiemail, which formats the output into proper prose paragraphs (like a mail merge) so that the Planning Officer (the ultimate recipient) gets a decent looking email.

When I put that destination address into webform.module it bounces the output.

Any ideas? Is there a way of using a hidden field, or some other work-around?

Webform is such a great module in other respects, I guess others have tried to send the output to a script of some kind.

Hopefully......

Hi Nig. It looks like you're using Drupal 4.6 and the current release of webform. If you'd be willing to upgrade to Drupal 4.7 (which I'd recommend anyway), the new version of webform includes this ability. Unfortunately, if you send to a 3rd party script or page, it doesn't do any processing at all, including recording submissions. This is because the POST array is made to be used exactly once and not ever forwarded again as a POST request. Best of luck.

I am trying to apply a design in HTML to the email message that webform sends but haven´t being succesful yet, I post a issue with the description of the problem in case you want to participate.

I think the problem is more related with the X-mailer fuctions that catch the message from the form and send it, i´ll keep in touch in case I can give format for a decent email

thanks
