html code for webpage with form submitted to email?

Question

I want to design a website and I know how to make all the page and put the forms there, but I still don't know how to make the forms to be submitted to my email address (or anywhere).
Would you be kind enough to tell me how to do it (using dreamweaver MX for mac), or send me the code of a page only with forms to be submitted to an email address, so I can figure out how to do it?
thaaaanks a lot!!

** any other explanations about forms submitted anywhere are welcome, they can be sent to the page where the form fields are, or to another page, etc. (but if you tell me how to send them to my email, it would be awesome!)
