HTTP_REFERER not set in html email - any ideas?
I'm creating a short html email to send to our existing customers which
consists of half a dozen questions on an html form (within the html email)
from which they use form radio buttons to pick their answer. They then click
on a submit button which links to a php script in our webspace. This all
works fine.

If this were simply a form on a webpage (as opposed to within an email) I'd
include something to check the HTTP_REFERER was what I was expecting to try
and avoid it being abused. However, because this is an html form within an
email, HTTP_REFERER is not set. Is there anything else I can test for to try
and make sure that use of the form only comes from the email questionnaires
we've sent out.

(I appreciate I could just email people a link to a webpage and run the
survey from the webpage but we're trying to make this as convenient as
possible for people to try and get as high a response rate as we can).

Many thanks, David
