Usage
Any standard form can be mailed with this extension, all that needs to be done is to ensure that the form contains a value called "formmailer" in it. As long as a value of that name is posted, the formmailer will know that the data from the form is to be sent. The name of this special variable can be set to something else in the $wgFormMailerVarName global configuration variable.
