Well, that *is* a easier way to do it. I had thought of that, but I wasn't
sure if there were enough steps involved. What I don't want is a person
sending spam *though* this interface. How safe do you think this solution is
against that?

It *would* be easier to implement and less cumbersome. Not that the original
idea was hard...
