Hi. First, turn off your HTML mail, and just send plain text to this
list.
Maintaining client persistence between requests is (I think) a function
of the web server you are using. If you absolutely must be able to
handle clients who have their cookies turned off, I can think of a few
ways:
1) Have your servlet write out a bunch of hidden form elements with the
values you need, then put handlers in the receiving pages to read them.
2) Have your servlet encode ALL href links with name/value pairs (ie:
<A HREF='nextpage.html?pref=something&who=something+else'>
(make sure you escape special characters like spaces)
3) Not really an entirely different option, but use either of the first
two to store a unique key which you create for the client when they log
in, and then write info to this record in a database. This has the
advantage of being persistent as long as you need it (you could put in a
time as well, and decide when they've timed out) but obviously, you need
a db.
