ok, i've been trying to mess around with making a website for a friend of mine. what i'm trying to do is make a page that instead of opening the default email program on the client's computer, i'm just trying to let them enter their information on a webpage and submit it to my friend's email account. what i'm having trouble with is the "<form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+MobNewMsg" method="POST">" part. that whole last part i got from the website where you can compose an email on the bellsouth.net server. Here's the url where i got the source from "http://webmail.bellsouth.net/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+MobNewMsg?". He doesn't have his own mail server, he's wanting to use his email account that he has with bellsouth (that's also his ISP). is this possible or do you have to have an email server of your own? Here's the entire webpage that i'm working on for him:
<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Pathways Photography - Contact Us</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#F4A460">

<FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="http://webmail.bellsouth.net/cgi-bin/gx.cgi/AppLogic+MobNewMsg?" 


METHOD="POST">
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="subject" VALUE="Contact Pathways Photography">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="recipient" VALUE="email@bellsouth.net">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="required" VALUE="">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="print_config" VALUE="Name,email,question">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="redirect" VALUE="C:\Documents and Settings\Kenny\Desktop\thanks.htm">

<FONT FACE="verdana, arial, helvitica" SIZE="2"><STRONG>Contact Pathways Photography</STRONG></FONT><BR><BR>

You''re about as ate up as a football bat.

I think you''ll need a Server-side language. Like PHP, for example. If you can use PHP, it has a sendmail function that will let you use any SMTP server you know the address for.

Ooh, I don''t know jack about PHP. Just really started learning HTML about a month ago. Guess I''m screwed for the time being on this.
