A friend placed a couple of orders at Fingerhut, and she called me when she
opened the confirm emails, which resulted in a series of script error
messages from Outlook Express. I explained that this was her punishment for
buying cheesy gifts from that company, but that wasn't the answer she was
looking for. At this point, my curiosity is about why a simple email would
even need scripts, something I never see from other companies'
confirmations. (Maybe the scripts are there, but they work right so I don't
notice them).

Is there a group where I might find a few programmers who can explain the
purpose of these things?
