hmm.. doesn't matter what the form looks like or what textboxes etc
it contains. You place the link to the form in the form action
variable. Once submit is clicked the form goes to the address
in the action variable where the form script lies on the server
and IT does the work. The form just sends the information to the
script. The script will take all the info in the form,
convert to an email an send it on its way.

You will probably need at least three basic hidden fields
1: recipient = email the form is sent to
2: Subject = Subject displayed in the email sent
3: Redirect = Page a user is redirected to after the form is submitted

example:
FOR ASP
OR FOR CGI
