This is going to be a problem so long as we have the docs
duplicated in the README and in FormMail.pl.

It's nice having them in POD, and having them in FormMail.pl
allows the use of a CVS revision tag, also nice.

How about deleting the README from CVS and generating
a README at release time with something like:

  pod2text -qnone -w72 FormMail.pl >README

The pod2text that comes with perl 5.6.1 does a pretty
good job IMO.

We could even have readme.html as a bonus :)

Dave, would that be easy ?
