With a server-side operation (and a date field in the table (pretty
necessary for most Guest Books / feedback material, really), I do this -

$date=date("Y-m-d");
mail("recipient@domain.com", "New feedback in domain.com", "New feedback in
domain.com - $date.");

I've often swithered about including in the post the info the visitor has
