Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that there are several types of multi-part
posts, only that multi-part posts differ from "normal" posts.

Yes, but as the form you want to automate really is a multi-part you won't
suuceed with that! ;-)

Sometimes is the first time for every web site. In 99.98% of the times, we

This is not the same URL what you used in the script you showed us. This is

This field should be left out.
