I can't put up a demo of this one, so I've attached a screen shot instead.

Nothing is perfect, but I believe this does an overall adequate job.

How does this actually send the email? The problem with mailing forms is not with the form or interface, but with actually sending the email. A form mailer is a reasonable solution, but I'm not sure it's really that useful then as a script in the library-- the real script is then just the form mailer this uses. And if that form mailer ever goes down (isn't available, server is off, url changes), then the script is useless (at least to a user who doesn't understand how to use a new form mailer).
