First of all apologies because I asked this before on General Gassing and thought I'd cracked it... but now I'm putting it into practice things aren't quite so peachy!

Basically I've designed the form - very simple with three text fields - have put a submit button on it, changed the 'method=post,action=""' code to put in 'mailto:myaddress' and all of that...

So when I test the page and click 'submit', first there is a warning saying 'This form is being sent by email' then it's bringing up a separate MS Outlook window for the response with my email address filled in but none of the text from the form. D'oh!

I want it to automatically put all of the info from the form and send it to me WITHOUT users having to type a separate email. Web monkey says I need a CGI Script but I wouldn't know where to start... but is there an easier way???
