I want to send mail from my site without the use of Outlook/Outlook Express, i don't want those program windows to open when the mail link is clicked, i just want to use a form to send mail only with HTML.
 
You need a form processing script. There's literally thousands available for free on the net.
First thing, on your site can you run server side scripts such as perl pr php?

If so then you will find scripts to download here:


should get you started!

A very simple html email form. Once tha submit button is pressed a message will appear saying that it is using your default mail client to send this message but it will not open up the program! This is not the most effected way to send emails but it only uses HTML as you requested. I can show you other ways which are more effective if you would like.
