Hi Sandy:  Yes, I saw that, and was duly impressed.  I downloaded both your
mailfom-s and the mailform version it was based on, and flipped back and
forth, making note of how yours differed from the other, in (faint) hope
that once I saw what you'd done, I'd both understand it and be able to adapt
it to the MailForm2 recipe.  I did pretty-much understand it, but the two
variants are so different that adapting what you'd done to the other version
is completely beyond me (as I said, there are some pretty fundamental things
about MailForm2 that I just don't get, so this is no surprise).

If you or anyone did care to look into this, I'd entreat you to approach it
by looking at creating a random code thing that would plug into the Input
recipe.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!
