   Er...not to sound confused or anything, but instead of creating a form why
don't you just make a simple link something like:

<A HREF="mailto:mylist-request(a)mydomain.tld?subject=SUBSCRIBE">

   ...and be done with it? Since you don't _need_ any other information other
than the subscriber's email address, why bother with a form at all? With a
form you're depending on how the browser deals with your code (and every one
will be slightly different), where with a mailto: URL, it's all pretty
standard.

   (Of course, if you _are_ planning on capturing additional information at a
future date, this obviously won't work.)
