    <form method="post" action="mailto:[email protected]" enctype="text/plain">
    Name: <br><input type="text" name="Name" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    Phone:<br><input type="text" name="Name" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    What You Want:<br> <textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="50"></textarea>
    <br>
    <br>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" size="30" value="Send">
    </form>

    Code:
    action="mailto:[email protected]"
    doesn't always work, depends on the browser and i'm fairly certain it ain't part of the standard

    Use a proper form mailer script made from Perl or PHP. http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html

    If you don't have a host with cgi capabilities, use a free one like http://www.hostedscripts.com/
