how would i delete it if it is not there? i have never heard of this happening, what email client are you using? if i could send email with outlook, i would, but i use hotmail, so can't really test it from here

if your server supports php, thats all you need to do.

make a handler. usually you make the form first, but the handelr goes above it.

<?php

// this is our handler of the form from above.
// localize the vars

$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$body = $_POST['body'];

// get headers

$header    = "From: ".$from ."\n";
$header   .= "Reply-To: ".$from."\r\n";

//check to make sure it went out

$sendcheck = mail($to, $subject, stripslashes($body), $header); 

if($sendcheck)
{
echo "<p>Thank You!</p><p>Your mail has been sent.</p>";
}
else
echo "<h3>Error!</h3><p>Your email was not sent. </p>";
exit();
?>    

and here is a basic form...

<div>
<form action='<?=$PHP_SELF;?>' method='post'>
TO: <input type='text' name='to'> <br />
FROM: <input type='text' name='from'> <br />
SUBJECT: <input type='text' name='subject'><br />
BODY: <textarea name='body'></textarea><br />
</form>
</div>

it opens what ever you have on default in your internet options. atleast i think

thanks sol, it does support php.

i'm saying for YOU, which one does it open, lol

 

[posol]

right- clicking a mailto link will open the defualt client's browser.

the good way to do it, is to use a form like i made above for you. anytime you are in a block of text and what to be like, if you have any questions <a href-mailto""> contact us</a>
instead of linking to the a href:mailto, link to a contact.php page where the form is located.
