Well here your question is not clear but I got two meanings from it. So I explain both of them.
If you simply means that when user presses the submit button,a new mail window appears where in the 'To' field, it's your e-mail id, then use this code
But if you mean that the data from the form is collected and sent to your e-mail id, then there are two ways:
1.Either use Frontpage server extensions (applicable only if you use frontpage to design you webpage or website)
In frontpage, right-click the form and click 'Form properties'. You will get it there. It's not labelled as Frontpage server extensions but that will give you options to link the form with you email id.
2. Use PHP programming. There is a simple function called mail(). It's structure is as:
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)
where $headers must have this:
"From: $from\n\r"
Variables $to,$subject,$message,$headers and $from can be set by posting your form variables to the php page containing the above script.
