The Example of a Form

There's only one difference between this form and the code that follows. We've made the "to" field a text field instead of a hidden field in the example, so that you can send this form to yourself and see what the results look like. But normally this field would be hidden, as it is in the HTML listed below, and therefore unalterable.
