integrating javamail forms and handlers

[Helena Edelson <he...@greenjaguar.com>]

What would be really great is to include a module implementing javamail 
for forms.
I have javamail forms and handlers that I can't use with forrest sites 
as far as I know.

what is the protocol to contribute xsl +styles for others to use?
thx

You can use *.html as the source files for Forrest.
In this way you can get all sorts of wierd things
