How to mail form
I have design a survey form at http://www25.brinkster.com/alvinhan/form.asp and i wish to have the survey result to send to my email address after clicking submit button. How can i make it? I prefer not to use the mailto in the form action because it always pop up a warning box that may scare away the respondents. Please help.

Generally, you use CDONTS or components like Jmail. Unfortunately, if you're on brinkster's general membership, I don't think you can use any of these.
An alternative solution that I have used is to have the form submit to a database which only I can access via a web interface. This simulates an inbox system.

Here's what I have in my forum that submits through my CGI processor:
<FORM action="http://www25.brinkster.com/alvinhan/form.asp" method="post"><INPUT type=hidden name="recipient" value="Your E-mail">
<INPUT type=hidden name="subject" value="Title">
<INPUT type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.yoursite.com/thankspage.html">
<INPUT type=hidden name="required" value="whatever">
Your form processor is in ASP, and I've always used Perl, but I believe it will work.
