Is it really necessary to provide the normal

the error-page itself ( PayPal: donation(a)wikipedia.org ) and if that is
possible make from the email address a link to the website of PayPal to
a page where the can donate to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Please see prior
discussion on this subject.
This response would be more helpful if it gave some hint
toward finding the prior discussion.
The same place it was before; on this list and/or wikitech-l.
If to the static page we now serve for an error
we added a static mention of donation(a)wikipedia.org (or donations@)
and a static link to PayPal, it seems likely a good flow of money would open up.
So what am I missing (and Walter, and Anthony)?
What's in that past discussion -- or where can it be found?
The problems with getting the error page have been resolved as of yesterday;
I've shown a sample error-page-with-form to mav and am reworking it per
feedback. Should be up soon.
