	How do I set up a form to post results by e-mail?

Solution To set up a form to submit results as an e-mail attachment, follow these steps:

In FrontPage Editor, create a form.

Right-click any object in the form, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.

The form will be outlined by a dashed box.

Click Form.

From the Form Handler list, click Custom CGI Script and then click Settings.

In the Action box, type the following, replacing everything after "mailto:" with the actual e-mail address you want to use:
mailto:info@yourdomain.com
In the Method box, type or select Post, and then click OK.

Click OK twice.
When your form is submitted, your e-mail program starts and opens a New Message window. The form will be sent as a text attachment if the sender's e-mail system and Web browser support this type of action. If the sender's Web browser does not support the mailto: function, then the sender can insert the text and manually send the message.
