Just a thought, why not create a Bulletin Board like we are using here?

I think you'll need some script for this

What happens when a submit button is pressed is that the data in the fields is either posted or entered into memory so that is can be accessed on the next page.

When the form method is "post" data can be accessed using Request.Form(FieldName).

On the page that you post to u just use an object that sends an email to the address u specify.

You'll nees asp suport on your webserver for this method to work but it dose the job.

Post back if you want the code

A common script to "Send" comments to you is

Rather than using Matt's version of formmail try NMS's

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/

which was designed to have the functionality of Matt's version without the open invitation to spammers
