Code to send information without using the 'mailto:'
I need to send the results of a questionnaire to an email address other than by using outlook or outlook express, i.e. ‘mailto:’. Many of the people who are using this will not have that set up on their computers, so in order to get their results I have to try arrange an alternative.

i cant use any applications really. the forms are intened to be sent out to, say, hotmail users. many of these will be using public computers, where their email accounts arent set up. therefore, they will be unable to submit the forms...please help
The form submission takes place on the server end - where your site is set up. It won't make any difference where the web page itself is viewed...

no, its not a site. its just 2 html files. there is no time, nor resources to put it online. its just html files sent to users via email
I'm sorry darsy - html isn't for submitting form information. You don't have any options here - the form must have an action tag, and the action tag must point to a server somewhere that can process the information. There's no other way around it.

thanks anyway

"It is impossible" is typically considered an acceptable answer by EE standards. You don't have the resources to do what you want.
I do have an objection to the suggested points split, azcn2503 suggested asking the provider if there is a form handler already installed and the URL I referenced in my earlier comment says, in part:
"There are several possibilities:
* Using an existing local service provided e.g. by your webmaster or ISP. Typically, such services exist at least for simple handling like getting data by E-mail. You would just need to know how to use such a service; but you need to contact local information for that.
