Yes, I have fixed this problem as well using PHP. It was very simple, all you have to do is store the names of the fields, send the form to another page (EX: mail.php) then use the following code:
<?php
$firstname = $_POST['FirstName'];
$lastname = $_POST['LastName'];
$age = $_POST['Age'];
$email = $_POST['EMAIL'];
$message .= "First name: \n";
$message .= $firstname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Last name: \n";
$message .= $lastname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Age: \n";
$message .= $age;
mail("youremail@email.com", "Subject: subject", $message, "From: $email");
Header("Location: index.html");
?>
<?php
$firstname = $_POST['FirstName'];
$lastname = $_POST['LastName'];
$age = $_POST['Age'];
$email = $_POST['EMAIL'];
$message .= "First name: \n";
$message .= $firstname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Last name: \n";
$message .= $lastname;
$message .= "\n";
$message .= "Age: \n";
$message .= $age;
mail("youremail@email.com", "Subject: subject", $message, "From: $email");
Header("Location: index.html");
?>
I'm using a very simple mailto: webform at work and everyone has Outlook open anyway, but rather than just send the form data, some people are having a blank e-mail opened up with nothing more than my e-mail address in the To line. Outlook 2007 settings are all the same across the company (set by procedures when people log in) so I can't figure out why some people have issues and the rest are fine. Any ideas?
I am very very very very very new to HTML I would like to learn how to send forms to e-mails but I dont want Outlook to come up and ask them if they want to send it. I just want it sent to my e-mail!

Hi Dude,
Did you ever figure out how to submit the form without outlook asking them if they will allow an email to be sent? I am trying to figure out how to do this now.
Thanks
Claire

Hi, can you be more specific about the problem please?
From what I can see, you have a form which allows every user to send an email to the webmaster. Basically, the form must have a process page like php to send the data to the email address of the webmaster. I don't understand why it will open outlook express. Outlook express opens only when you are using the mailto: command, also, the user must have outlook installed if you want it to open.
Paste your code, i'll try to fix it for you :D

Didn't find the answer you are looking for?

The problem is that you need a server to host a CGI Program to send. I am currently working on a project (www.starsforcollege.com) that will be up in a few days that uses an extensive HTML Form. I used the CGI Progam that came with the host (BlueHost - they are fantastic) and it worked seamlessly. The response you get in your inbox is a bit messy, but thats what diligent webmasters are for (plus it's a good way to keep some small but steady money coming in.)

Well, I may not know the Outlook Express issue, but I do know why your e-mail is blank. Let me show you an example...
<html>
<head>
<title> My Simple Form </title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com" method="POST" enctype="text/plain">
Username: <input type="text" size="12" maxlength="12" name="UserName"> <br />
Password: <input type="password" size="12" maxlength="12" name="PassWord"> <br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The above example shows how to send an e-mail with data entered into it, but I do not understand why it opens Outlook Express. Make sure you inclue method="POST" when you call a form.

I am ok with the form opening in outlook. My problem is with Vista and Outlook the form opens as an empty page. what's up with that?

I am now having the same issue. Same form, used to open an email containing all the information enterd in the form, now it opens a blank e-mail without the information. HELP!
when I wrote a email address on HTML code page then user lick on the Emailaddress then open outlook express. how can it possible tel me
Hmm .. If you want a server u can use the www.emailmeform.com/
if u already done u can edit it just click your emailmeform address then right click find viewsource then edit some html codes in your notepad.
After you edit/added some codes copy all the codes then put it in your website.

the mailto:<address> is a mail link. not a submission routine for a form. typically, this would be in a link, not a form element. I'm surprised the above example did anything at all.
To send email using a form you will need to have some script on the page, either in the page as javascript or as a server side language to process the posted data. look up php or asp if you want to do it yourself, but its more likely whatever package you have installed for a website will have the ability to deal with it.
