I am trying to develop an email based community network aplication for my
kids high school. The purpose is to get parents connected and since this is a
urban high school it has to be free. There is no web server although email is
available. I have wriiten a db application for parent profile data collection
that is used at school evants. I also have written a VBS apps to notify
parents of upcoming events via email. But I would also like to allow a user
to verify and correct their profile data and sign to help at school events.
So I need a way to send a data entry form and accept changes via email. I
have technical and programming background. I looked into HTML attachment but
there is no web server or CGI to send the results to. I though of VBS but I
worried that the mail might be considered a virus. I don't want to make this
impossible to solve but I would rather not use perl, PHP or any other
scripting langauae that I may have to manage on a client machine. Any ideas
or suggestions other then "give up" are grately appreciated. Thanks in
advance for energy and help with this.

There are free web servers available. You'd be better off with a web
service, in my opinion.
 
This is a pulic school and it all about politics and unions. This solution
has to stand on its own and use readily available infrastructure. I can't be
guarenteed that there will be hardware or network resources available at the
school if the staus quo is question. The concept is is somewhat threating to
the administration. Thanks for the idea though maybee I can find an ISP to do
this.
