Do you mean have the form data sent to you? You can do it one of two ways:
  1. The best, but most complicated, way is to have a script handle the form. These are commonly referred to as CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts and are written in languags such as Perl, VBScript, or PHP. These scripts will parse (process and format, basically) the data and mail it to you, or save it in a file or database, or all three, even.
  2. You can also have the raw data emailed to you. Set up the form like so:
    CODE
    <form method="post" action="mailto:youremail@yourdomain.com">

    Be warned, though: that method isn't guaranteed to work on all browsers on all platforms.
