I made an HTML form at "http://www.freewebs.com/manasarchive/html.htm", it's just a test-out kind of thing. But the thing is, when I click "submit", it only opens my e-mail program (thunderbird) with a blank e-mail message to the e-mail I provided in the code (as well as a bunch of html jumble if i actually filled out the forms) can anyone tell me if I'm missing something?

That's exactly what it SHOULD be doing if you use mailto.
Perhaps if you can describe what you actually WANT done, we can give you a better answer. But from what you're describing, it's doing exactly what it should be.

HTML won't be able to deliver an email through itself and it truly is the reason the default email software is opened, you elect a server component script like Hypertext Preprocessor to deliver an email. As somebody else has reported use email me varieties and it is a loose and good provider :)

You need server-side code to grab the form content and then you will need to send the email from the servers smtp address not from the users email client. I am a software engineer and can direct you to some server side code to do this, check out the following example i believe this is the effect that you are looking for.... I just threw it together so there is no error trapping you will need a to and from address for it to work if you want some help let me know. hit me with an email billyz313@yahoo.com http://arcserver2.iagt.org/billyzmail/
