Is this hosted on a server or just your PC?

What can I use instead of <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:your email address"> to make the form email directly to my yahoo email account. What's the point of a form if it makes OutLook Express to pop up? Please help I need this asap.

I take it you want people to enter their message into a field on your homepage and from there it is sent to you?

Your best bet is a simple php script, but you must have php installed on your server, if you pay for hosting it probably is.

php will send you mail but since you want this sent to your yahoo email you don't have php do you?

post your webserver info and we can tell you the best way

Problem Solved
Thank you all I have solved the problem. Turns out my host offered free CGI or something and all I had to do was paste the code into my HTML form.
