What is FormMailDecoder?

FormMailDecoder is a program that can decrypt messages encrypted by FormMailEncoder.

You can use FormMailDecoder and FormMailEncoder to safely collect credit card and other information from your customers.

You install FormMailEncoder on your server computer and use it with a script like FormMail to encrypt form results. When you receive these encrypted form results in your email's Inbox, you can use FormMailDecoder to decrypt them and read the results.

Once the encrypted message leaves the server, only you (with your secret key and password) can decrypt the message.

This means your customers' information is kept hidden from eavesdroppers.
