you cannot make a form send an email without a server side application. hence you need php, java, C#, perl, python or any of the server side programming languages to makee even the frontpage form send a mail. unless you wish that it launches microsoft outlook or the default email client on the visitors computer
good luck

na wa o! simple question has turned into wrestle mania  Tongue

Your web host should have a perl script and tutorial on how to integrate it with your form.  Ask them.  I have done a site for a client where I wasn't allowed to use my own php script and so I reverted to calling their own perl scripts.

Ask them and I am sure they will help out.
