Hi There, the way to go is to use the form elements (obviously!) in Dreamweaver to create the initial form. So first off go;<br><br>Insert&gt; Form<br><br>Where it says Method make sure it is POST.<br>Now for action put in your desired email address including the mailto command; e.g. mailto:<A HREF="mailto:me@you.com">me@you.com</A><br><br>Now is the important part. Hit F10 to look at your code.<br>Where it says; &lt;FORM method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;mailto:<A HREF="mailto:me@you.com">me@you.com</A>&quot;&gt; add this little bit; enctype=&quot;text/plain&quot; as per below;<br>&lt;FORM method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;text/plain&quot; action=&quot;mailto:<A HREF="mailto:me@you.com">me@you.com</A>&quot;&gt;<br>This will make the results of the forms you get legible.<br>Your Submit button should simply have a value of &quot;submit&quot; the trick to this is in the action (your email address)<br><br>Hope this helps, I wrote this in a bit of a hurry so let me know if it doesn't work and I can email you the code or something.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Scottos

Yes you can specify a subject line.
