7. FormMail gives FrontPage extension error

You know you have FrontPage extensions, and yet when you try to use formmail.pl, you get this message:

_____________________________

You have sent a form or have followed a link to a page that requires a Web
server and FrontPage extensions to work correctly.

This form or FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish (copy)
this web into a web server having the FrontPage extensions.
___________________________

SOLUTION: Use FrontPage's own forms.

FP has the equivalent of formmail, and it is very difficult to use formmail and FrontPage together. Although it may be technically possible, instructing a client on how to do this is simply beyond what we offer in FP support.
