Yeah sounds like a good idea.  To that end there're a couple of small fixes which we need:
- a form with an action of "" (or empty) is, as I recall, supposed to use the current url as its destination
(at least that's the behaviour I remember and on https://www.eaglemusicshop.com/ with the add to basket buttons)
- On that site there's also a button used as a link running the onclick code to send the browser to a new page.
That currently fails with the quite correct message that the button isn't part of a form.  I think we're
supposed to run the onclick code (or any click events) in any case.

I think we set a time (subject to a bit of change) and if I've got something working then it goes in,
otherwise not.  We really need the current changes so they get priority.  If I miss with the gopher
stuff then that's a shame but not much more.

I've also removed a few unused things today as tidy-up.  I'm currently wondering where the mail server socket from
the mail sending mechanism is used as I can only find (with grep) a reference to it being defined and declared
as an extern but no actual usage.
I'm guessing it's actually used and don't use that part of the code so I'm not touching it.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else we need to sort, there may be a few more major changes we want,
but as previously stated, I think we need the css and query selector stuff quite urgently.

Cheers,
Adam.
