Is there a way within HTML to encrypt the result of a web form submission? I'm not trying to write to a database, I just want the email data to be safe on it's way to my mailbox.

What do you know about encryption? Do you have a PGP key to use? If so you can get ActiveX controls that will work or you can write your own using the Win32 CryptoAPI take a look at CryptEncryptMessage(…)

Make the action of your form an https: url and this will cause the browser to set up a secure channel with the server. Your server has to support this though.
