@the_treeSep 17.2006 — The "mailto" action relies on your visitors mail client wich is a pretty impractical approach. You would be better off using a process that runs [i]on your server[/i] (Server Side Scripting). Which one you use (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CGI-Perl, JSP, ColdFusion) depends largely on what your host supports.
