Depends on the web page, doesn't it?

I've gotta say here, anyone who responds to an email containing an HTML
form is probably feeding information to spammers.  Even worse, in my
experience most web browsers provide NO way to know what a form's
Submit button does.  There's no mouseover hint or anything.  Not that
mouseover hints are of any use when Javascript is in effect, but that's
a different dead horse.
