It took me hours to find this, but it's the best free way. Unless you have perl hosting available to you, then go to www.formmail.com. If you do have perl hosting, then use dhaynes suggestion.
Formmail is only for small websites though, you can't get more than like 30 emails per week.

Yes PHP is the best way to those kind of things

Although using simple HTML could have done it by using the <a href=mailto:[email protected]> ( I think this is what it is :P) and then adding some settings.

For more info on that HTML tag, google it :D

That solution compared to a PHP one is almost too bad to talk about, lol. The mailto options are poor to say the least and should never EVER be used for things where the public is going to see it. For one it relies almost 100% on client-side software being up to the job, it also requires the sender to have an active email account to send from that is set up on that PC.... not too great for use on public PC's or someone elses computer...

Always go with PHP interfacing a CGI formmail script, tis the best and easyest IMO
