			<h3>Description</h3>
			<p>This event allows you to send an e-mail without saving the message like the standard save message event does.</p>
			<p>Based on Symphony 1.7 send_email event by Alistair Kearney, http://www.pointybeard.com, alistair@pointybeard.com.</p>
			<h3>Usage</h3>
			<p>Include the event on your page and make sure that you include the default required fields (name, email, subject, message).</p>
			<p>Note: error reporting could be improved. The event returns either success or failure to the page XML, but does not specify what is wrong.</p>
			<p>I have commented out support for the saynotospam field. Remove the comments in the source code and include a checkbox with 
			name="field[\'saynotospam\]" and value="idislikeit" to include an anti-spam measure. Change the name of the saynotospam field 
			throughout this event to improve protection against spammers.</p>
			<h3>Example Front-end Form Markup</h3>
			<p>This is an example of the form markup you can use on your frontend:</p>
			<pre class="XML"><code>&lt;form method="post" action="">
	  &lt;label>Name
		&lt;input name="fields[name]" type="text" />
	  &lt;/label>
	  &lt;label>Email
		&lt;input name="fields[email]" type="text" />
	  &lt;/label>
	  &lt;label>Subject
		&lt;input name="fields[subject]" type="text" />
	  &lt;/label>
	  &lt;label>Message
		&lt;textarea name="fields[message]" rows="15" cols="50">&lt;/textarea>
	  &lt;/label>
	  &lt;label>Anti-spam
	  	&lt;input name="fields[saynotospam]" type="checkbox" value="idislikeit" />
	  &lt;/label>
	  &lt;input name="action[send-email]" type="submit" value="Submit" />
	&lt;/form></code></pre>';
