Question Email Auto Responder with Session_OnEnd?

Is it true that the Application, Server, and Session built-in objects are the only ones available from within the OnEnd event handler?

I would like to be able to send an email through VBscript whenever the client's session ends before he/she completes a signup process. I use the Persits ASPEmail object.

Is this possible? What would you recommend as an alternative?

When a user exits the site, asp resets them automatically after a while, by default it's 20 min - so _OnEnd may not work for up to 20 min. What about a sending them to a thank you page after signup, drop them a message and explain that the email is on the way?

This is what I am trying to accomplish:

My registration process has 5 ASP pages. The first page captures their email address and saves it in a session variable. If the user is in the second page and he/she simply closes the browser window or goes to another site, how would you fire up a function to send an email to ask why they left?

Will there be a solution that will work even if Javascript is disabled?
