Can anyone tell me how to eliminate the warning that pops up to site visitors
when they complete and send a form asking for info? I am told that this is
due to security warnings built into mail programs and that I must create a
formmail script to change the way the message is routed through the server.

If this is true, can anyone give me a quick "how to" for this? Thanks.
 
You can not change how a user email application functions. You have to stop trying to have your form
processed by the users email application to avoid the warning message. To do this requires that the
form be processed via a server-side script, such as you have indicated or if hosted on a server that
has the FP extensions and is configured to process email, then you can use FP's Form Handler.

Thank you for taking time to respond. Can you tell me, technically speaking,
how I might make this change in my coding in FP to direct the processing to
be done on the server rather than the email receiver. I'm not quite
understanding if I can effect the change from my side. The server I am using
DOES have the FP Extensions activated and working, so I'm assuming I have set
the form up incorrectly in some way. Any directions for the set up at my end
(so that I can review the form and coding and make any necessary revisions)
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

See FP Help for using forms and for your first try just keep all of the default, then test and see
how it works.
