The one you had should work just fine, i.e. FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailmerge.cgi/~holler/query.txt" or "query.tmp" if you prefer. You can use almost any extension for your template EXCEPT "html". The template looks good now, except it still appears that the file transfer itself was done in binary mode. Are you uploading using File Manager? You can not upload your template in File Manager as it only transfers in binary mode. Your template MUST be uploaded in ASCII mode.
