I can help with the very last thing.  Have your developer add the Reply-To: field to the e-mail.  That is the address your mail program will use when you hit reply.

Subject: [WISPA] ? Web Developer Guru's

> Hello Web Developer Guru's,
> I looking for comments or suggestions on my site survey request
> process.  I want to make sure it's as streamlined as it can be.  Here is
> the current process from start to finish.
>
> Potential subscriber calls and we talk $.  If they are still interested
> I send them to www.reliableinter.net to click on "Free availability
> check".  They submit the form,
> a cgi script runs, and the "raw data" is sent to an imap account that my
> web developer and I have access to.
>
> My web developer than open the email from imap in word and runs 2 macros
> to organize the raw data.  One for my copy and one for the customers.
> My copy adds a bunch of text at the bottom of all the customer info
> (things like site survey date, install date, mac address, ssid,
> equipment, new email, rate plan,
> IP, DNS, and some other good stuff that needs to be on a work order).  
> The other macro organizes the raw data for him to send an email back to the
> customer see what they submitted along with added text that says, "We'll
> call you, bla bla".
> After all my "work order" text is added he emails it (for review) from
> word back to the imap account and the info all shows up in the body of
> the email. Now I print the email (1 page) and stick it in a 3 ring
> binder.  This leaves me with one email/printed email that has every
> field necessary to complete site survey, install, and billing.
>
> Making the process smoother.......
> I'd like to know if my process could be changed to what I'll describe
> below without a major overhaul, or if it needs major work, tell me a
> little about it.
> This reason we're doing it like we are is because I know very little
> about web development/cgi/macro stuff.  This is the way my guy knew how
> to handle it.
>
> After the customer hits submit I want 2 things to happen.
>
> I want a confirmation email auto sent to them that shows them want they
> wrote and shows them the text I added.  So at some point between hitting
> submit
> and getting the email, "We'll call you....." needs to be injected.
>
> I also want an email sent to me with the customers organized data on
> it.  Again, the email is to have text added at the bottom of this email,
> but my text needs to be the "work order" type text I explained earlier.
>
> Summary.  Fill out form.  Click submit.  Two unique email sent.   Their
> copy with "We'll call you" text and my copy with "Work order" text.
>
> The last thing.  When I receive the email, I want the sender's email to
> show up so I can hit reply and be talking to them.  Currently the sender
> is my own account
> and I have to copy and paste the customers email to reply .
>
> Can it be done and what would it take?
