When I set up a text box with a mailto: command, it popups and says that it is sending without encrypting for privacy. It concerns most people and they are reluctant to submit. Is there a way to get rid of it??? I'd appreciate any help. Please e-mail me at Jefferson_West_FFA@yahoo.com, as this is for a school website I am making and the system administrator doesn't know how.
