Is it possible to use javascript to send mail to a recipient on the web.

I am familiar with the mail to etc where the default mail client like outlook is launched.

Is there another way toto send the mail from the web direct without launching the default mail client.

In short, how can i send mail from my site like we do at yahoo using javascript.

AFAIK, you must use
A. Local client
or
B. Server - either an app on server or local computer.

Since hardly anyone but we geeks have mail server apps running on our local computers, count that one out. You'll need something like Persists ASPEmail running on the server, or one of the Microsoft mail componants. Either way, the script itself can't send mail, it must call a mail app on the host server or client (or on another server) and pass the info to that app.

If I'm wrong, I hope someone corrects me!
