well the preferred way of doing it would be to use some type of server side language like php, www.hotscripts.com your webhost would have to be able to run php or the php would be useless, you can try the mailto:youremail@blah.com but that isn't always reliable because not every user has a pop3 email account, but if you gave each of your items in your form a name and used the mailto action and a user did have the ability to use a pop3 email then you would get the info sent to you but it wouldn't look good

Another way is to use ASP. You'll need to have one of several components though. the most popular being
CDOSYS, ASPEMAIL, CDONTS, ASPMAIL,ASPQMAIL
