Hi David!

I don't have more time right now to work on this, but will get to it
as soon as possible.  To be honest, the emailing was something not
fully tested, as I have it disabled on zap, and I can't get my home
server to work with emails right.  But will get it going for you,
hopefully over the weekend.  It was working before, but much of the
code has been reworked.  It's probably something minor.

As for the random number option I think that can be done pretty easy.
I'll add a line of code to the zapget directive to return a random
number given a certain flag, and make it available as a page variable
you can use in the form with conditionals to avoid spamming.  Great
idea!  And not hard to do.

Uh displaying the numbers are easy.  Do you absolutely need pictures?
Anyway, if you can wait through the weekend, I'll get you taken care
of.

Cheers,
Caveman
