how to submit online form via e-mail?

I've created the form and using the prescribed method in help files. How do
you use the 'submit' feature to send the form's information back to the
webmaster? I would prefer to use an e-mail feature that sends the data once
the submit button is clicked. Thanks...

Right-click within the form, and select Form Properties.
Click the "Send-to" button, and enter the target e-mail
address. Click "Optionms", select e-mail results. Some of
the options will be self-explanatory - including what you
want in such things as the "subject" or the return address
of the resulting e-mail message. One final item: e-mail
seems to require that the page be saved as htm. .asp won't
work.

....and, then ask the host to enable the forms to email transport in the
extensions on the host server.

....and, for the times I have done this, on several diferent
hosting services, I find it works best when the e-mail
address specified is at the same domain as the web address.
Then I set up an alias to send it to whomever. I doubt it
is supposed to be that way - but who knows!

....actually, RonTev, that is how it's supposed to work.
