E-mail notification from Infopath Form on WSS

I have an Infopath form hosted on a Wwindows Sharepoint Services site.
When a new form is filled out the user selects a name from a dropdown
list - that person needs to receive an email that they are next in line to
complete the form. We do not want a copy of the Infopath form emailed - just
a short message making them aware that the form exists on the WSS.

I can't figure out how to perform this. Any ideas?

Thanks

The simplest method may be creating a web service that is called from
InfoPath that generate the email message and uses your SMTP server to send
it. There should be plenty of examples of creating emails on various sites
depending on which language you want to use.

You could let WSS take care of this using the Alert mechanisme or by
implementing an event-handler on the document library you are using.
