Michael, If you are writing the emails as files, you will need to do the line wraps yourself, which means for each message, the last thing you do before writing each file out to the SMTP server is to replace all instances of '=' with '=3D', and wrap the long lines with the last character on the wrapped lines being an equals sign. (You should not send email messages with lines longer than 72 characters).
Depending on how you keen you are about protecting your data, mark each your records with a large random number. When you send your mail, include this number as a hidden field in the form. Use the random number as the record key for when the form is posted - don't use the database record id. Record id's are generally sequential, and you don't want some script kiddie updating all of your records, because they worked out your database record id's. Once a record has been updated you can then mark it as stale, which means that the users will need to login before making further changes. That way you only allow one update from the email.
