Web forms for feedback sent to emails to prevent spam

Ok. I want a simply feedback form to replace the current contact us with email links that are currently set up. I suppose there are two ways of doing this. One would be to have the web form sent to our email. Another would be to have the feedback forms stored and viewable to us without going directly to our email. Assuming, I want the web form to go to my email but not have the email be viewable to the public, how would I do this? This would be embedded as html within a cgi script.

FormMail http://www.scriptarchive.com/formmail.html has been used for years to do that.  There are links to improved version at the bottom of the page.
You would be better to do it in PHP, since the PHP email function is SO simple compared to CGI -- I struggled with CGI and Matt's FormMail for several sites, and even the improved versions are a hassle to adapt and change.  With PHP it is so simple, so logical, and so much more secure.

I ended up redoing all my form mail scripts from early sites with PHP, dumping CGI, and have had no problems since.

I'm confused.  There is nothing there that can't be just plain HTML on the page.  I thought you had the form and were looking for a way to email it.

I want a contact form that can be filled out and emailed when people have questions.
Any ideas?
