[FX.php List] [OFF] Slow response when sending PHP email?

[Joel Shapiro]

Thanks Webko

The AJAX idea came to me as I was typing my post.  Not sure why I never tried it.  (Maybe when I last implemented PHP mail I was still in my pre-AJAX days...)

Cheers,

I understand that this way I can check for failed sending, but I generally don't want to delay things for the end user for that -- and I'd rather deal w/ them behind the scenes, on the server end.
