  Yep, I'm not completely sure why this is, but I suspect the reason is
that sometimes the WWW server times out, even though the message has
already been sent at that point, so the sender assumes it hasn't been sent,
and hits the button again.

  I think what I'll do is to remove the link to that gateway from the page;
it doesn't really get used very often, and it seems to confuse some people.
Everyone can just as easily send a message from their e-mail client.
(probably easier...)
