post data to email

[minckle]

what is the correct line if i want to automatically send the results of a html form to an email??

This is the code im using but it loads outlook and puts the data into an email, instead of automatically sending it.
<form method="post" action="mailto:email@address.co.uk">

you will need a server side script in whatever script language your host supports.

formmail is a well known (some might say infamous) perl script.

It's free, open-source, but its chequered history means that some hosting providers ban it, for fear of hijacking. That said, I've used the current version with no apparent ill effects.
