I agree with your point.  I have been using CGI::EncryptForm for another project and found it
interesting enough that I wanted to try it out with webmail.pl.  This gives the added bonus of
securing those get requests (somewhat).

MIME::Base64 might be a better fit. I will update the current cvs code to encode the get urls
with MIME::Base64 as opposed to CGI::EncryptForm.

take care,
