Do I need to use sanitize?

I'm creating a website which has a few forms, and wondering whether I
need to use Sanitize for those. In each case, there are a few text
boxes which accept input from visitors; that information gets emailed
to a central address. Nothing is stored in the database.

Do I need to use sanitize for that, or is it mainly for times when the
form data is going into the database?

I also wasn't completely clear on the documentation about sanitize -
it says Cake automatically uses it for saving and reading, but does
that include 'find' functions, and do I have to include
App::import('Sanitize'); to make it work (i.e. it's automatic once
it's included)?

Thanks!
