front page forms "passed email parameters"

[Mike Kelly]

Hi everyone:

I am trying to pass the email parameters of a url which is generated by
mailing list software to a form field created by front page. Each subscriber
to the mailing list has his email address inserted at the end of a url.

Here is an example of the url
http://www.sensationaldeals.com/[email protected]

Notice the email field at the end of the url. If you click on the above url
it will take you the page where I would like the "email parameter"
(e-mail address removed) to be passed to the text box automatically.

I know this can be done in various ways with cgi scripts and forms but I
wonder if there is a simple way I could do it in front page. The forms on
the above site are all handled by front page and for me to try to figure out
and set up some scripts and forms would be very time consuming and I am not
sure I could pull it off.

Anyway, any suggestions are much appreciated.
