Ok been looking around for a while to no avail.
I need to find out how to send a form by email without messing about with cgi. I tried bravenets formail thing but don't like it.
Is there a really easy way?
Any clues would be appreciated.

You could use FormMail or PHP?

Just out of curiosity why dont you want to mess about with scripts?

I am just not familiar with scripting thats all.
I need to do this quickly and don't have the time to figure it out.

wwell, the easiest way is just to set the action as "mailto:me@me.com" and it will send you the information.

That's the way it was done for years. It's not safe, not reliable, but hey, there's no script involved.

I haven't tried it in years either.

Screw it. Nothing works properly. I go get me a coder and pay for it. These free scripts are not what i am after.

I wrote and published my own form-mail script in perl a while back. I'll sticky the url to you if you're interested but TOS prevent me posting it.

No worries. Sorted it. Found a nice little program that generates a php page based on form objects you input into the program.
My form now flies

Thanks
