Which shopping cart software can automatically email the user-entered information to both me and the user?

I know both the buyer and the seller receive a receipt (order info, address, any comments) etc. by default with osCommerce.  I am sure other carts will do the same.  Note however that the full payment info is not emailed (since e-mail connections are not secure) and you have to goto the website to view the credit card info.   This is not a problem if you use a payment gateway instead (and thus never see the credit card info anyways).

Thanks Tim.  That's what I need, a cart to send order info and comments to both buyer and seller.  I don't need any payment info included.

I'd be using it as a form-to-email program.  The 2 I've tried (nms FormMail and TFMail) don't send form entries to the person who entered them, only to the form owner.  That's to prevent people from using the form to send spam to innocent addresses.  To avoid that, I'll put my form at an unpublished, secret URL and require a password.  It's not a contact form.  I'll email the URL as needed.

Or maybe using cart software is overkill for my needs.  I could modify form-to-email code, but I prefer I didn't.
