Yes, when using simple HTML, do something like below:

I would highly recommend using a server-side script like PHP or ASP. Both have mail functions that are more secure, but they can be used for spamming purposes. You would have to research how to avoid spamming on your contact form if you ever used PHP/ASP/etc.

The best way is to have a server-side script that reads in the form data, creates an email and sends it to you.

If you don't have server-side scripting enabled, you can use a third party service like freedback: http://www.freedback.com/

Basically you point your form to the URL they supply, it creates and sends you an email, and then redirects the visitor to a page you specify.

Don't use the mailto: method suggested above. Many people use GMail as their email client, and this method will not work for them.

you need to have method="post" and action="mailto:switch for your email" in the form tag.

Although this is not a very good way of doing things, even if it is a very simple way. not a secure form, and be ready for **** loads of spam.
