I assume what you want to store is the _responses_ from customers. If
so, you typically would use a cgi script like formmail to mail the
responses back to you. But doing this from a HTML email? I dunno. You
could do this with PHP, but sending something like that to a customer in
email wouldn't work. Maybe I don't understand what you're trying to do.
In any case, once put into a form that can be parsed, you need something
that will parse the results. That's called python or perl. ;-}
I don't know any other way to do it without just having someone look
over the results and key them into a database manually or something.
You're only looking at 50 responses, so maybe that's the best way?
