Why does this not work?

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

Hi Joe,

Went to http://www.upquick.com/message/ to test the form.  When I submit 
the form it takes me to https://www.bluehost.com/bluemail which returns 
a 404 error.

Your form :

<form action=https://www.bluehost.com/bluemail 
enctype=multipart/form-data method=POST>
<textarea type=text placeholder="Please enter your message,
question, suggestion, or comment here ..."
name=comments cols=45 rows=7 wrap=virtual></textarea><br>
<input type=text placeholder="Your email address"
size=30 maxlength=90 name=mailfrom>
<input type=submit value=Send>
<input type=hidden name=sendtoemail value=joe at actionline.com>
<input type=hidden name=redirect value=http://www.upquick.com>
</form>

---

Notice the very first line that has the action directive : 
action=https://www.bluehost.com/bluemail

That is the first thing to resolve.

Note your form does nothing to sanitize the data which needs to be 
addressed also.
