I want to email myself when a certain web page is accessed. The browser should not be aware that an email has been sent - although, hiding it in the html is not a priority, it would be a benefit.
The email address, subject and content would all be hard set.

Hi neihu,
You can easily do this with PHP, ASP, or Coldfusion. A small script would fire an email each time the page is loaded and the user would have no idea it is happening because it all occurs on the server.
On the other hand, you will not get any real information about the user other than what is normally available in the access logs.
