Can GoDaddy's form handling script, webformmailer.php, be edited?

    It seems the webformmailer.php file in GoDaddy hosting accounts cannot be edited. I tried editing it but permission to overwrite the file is denied (even though it says it's giving full permissions 777).

    I want to edit it because I have 3 gripes about it:

    1) I want it to accept a form submission more frequently than every 15 minutes, which is their default time (even FrontPage forms took form submissions immediately).

    2) After receiving an email to inform me that I've received form data from someone, it should be as easy as clicking "Reply" to reply to that person's email address. But it doesn't, with webformmailer.php the reply-to-address is my OWN email address. With many forms coming in every day, it becomes a hassle to copy and paste the person's email address into the reply email message. (FrontPage forms did not have this problem)

    3) The subject of the reply email message is blank. You can specify a Subject in your own code using <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="whatever your subject is" /> , but this subject only appears when you RECEIVE an email from the GoDaddy server - not when you respond to a person's form (which I believe is the whole point of adding a subject in the first place). The subject they give is something like "RE: Form Submission Thu, 04 Feb 2010 02:52:19 -0700" which has to be edited every time. (FrontPage forms did not have this problem)

    Does anyone know if the webformmailer.php can be edited? If not, are there any other recommendations for form to email scripts that can do the above?
