Why don't you want the customer to open an external web page? what
happens if said customer does not read mail as HTML -- or if security
settings in their MTA don't allow submitting forms? or submitting a form
in the MTA cannot spawn a browser?
(For instance, I use a text-only MTA -- so I won't see the form, and
won't be able to submit it. Blind people often use text-based MTAs along
with a text-to-speech application.)
I understand the idea behind such things, but if you must do it, give a
text alternative to the HTML version that can link to an external page
with the form.

The form handler can be done in any language you want... so, of course,
use PHP!
