How to send myself form fill-out as email

clueless: I don't even know where to start.

I need to add a form to my site that users will fill out, which will then email me the contents of the form. I did a quick Google search on it and the only examples I found were written in C! That can't be right. Surely you can do this using just JavaScript and HTML.
Am I on the right track?
Does anyone have a good sample they can point me towards?
My boss is standing over my shoulder and wants this done ASAP, so I'm having trouble thinking quickly and cleverly here.
How do I do this?

1) See if your web host has installed a form script and has instructions in their manual.

2) Variants of Formmail are very easy to set up. Be sure to use a current version, as older ones were not secure. This is a cgi script.

I was just going to edit my post. You really do need to have a CGI or something to do this. I was just looking at FormMail.
For crap's sake, I don't have access to server-side scripting tools, and our programmers don't know anything about server-side web scripting either.

Crack! My company's on crack!

This is pretty basic stuff. Maybe you need new "programmers"... ;)

You can't use PHP or ASP on your site just for a process page? You must have some sort of server-side programming. Find out which one or load apache. It is really easy to do in both ASP and PHP.

You can do it with javascript using mailto:[e-mail], but it really stinks. It won't work unless someone has a mail client on the machine. Web mail users like yahoo and hotmail can't really use it.

If you can't run CGI on your own server i'm sure there are services out there that will allow you to submit a form to their server to handle the email side of things, and then redirect back to a page on your site.

Google for "remotely hosted form email" or something like that.
