[TYPO3-project-formidable] Simple Email Form with Formidable

[JéŽrô™me Schneider]

Hi Jason,

I made up this extension to show you a way for achieving this.
It's a complete case, with error-checking, localization and 
confirm-page, configuratble by flexform.

I attached the T3X to this message
If you can't download the attachement, you'll find the extension also 
here:

Best regards,
Jerome Schneider
