If your ISP doesn't have a formmail script, you can use one freely available at http://www.cgiforme.com/ or http://www.cgi-free.com/
Also, most free webspace providers such as GeoCities, Tripod, etc. offer formmail scripts. Just check the help section and usually you can find instructions there.

Why do YOU want to send email from YOUR web page. Usually people put a mailto instruction on their web page so that people who read their web page can send mail to them (or somebody else). It is they which need the mail program not you.
If you want readers of your page to send email to you use the mailto link. You of course will need an email address (and a reader) to receive the mail.

Another possibility is to use:
<a href="mailto:somewhere@som
Next you set up an account with one of the free email services (HotMail, Net@ddress, yahoo.com, there are many). You access the mail through your regular browser and don't need a mail program on your computer. The only problem is that some of the older browsers don't support the mailto: form. People using them will not be able to send you email from the link. The good news is that not many people are still using these browsers.

I think he probly wants to know how to do somthing like expert exchange does like send mail to notify u when somthing is done, I would like to know this to could someone help me out?
Shroom--You may be right. I don't think that it is possible in plain HTML. E-E is set up with a C++ program that takes care of it. The Form technique will send him a message every time someone clicks the submit button. If the wants to send it other places, he can get set up with ListBot and send the mailto there. It will then notify everyone on the list.
Check with your ISP and see if it has a cgi form submission program that you can access. I believe it can be done with ASP also, but I am not up on that.
