    You need to use PHP.
    I suggest reading the following link first.
    PHP Mail

    Is your site just a plain html site?

    It doesn't matter if it plain html or not, you can always implement PHP by changing the document type.

        You need to pass the variables (content of the IDs) to the externail page (mail.php)

        in html file you have to make
        <form method="post" action="mail.php">
        <input type="text" id="name_of_id">
        </form>


        then in mail.php

        <?php
        $to         = $_POST[name_of_id];


        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        ?>

    Hi,

    If you find any difficulties in doing it manually. Then create the form page using Simfatic Forms: create and maintain your forms in a breeze! .

    It's really superb software to work on it.

      I use formmail.com. You have to build the form yourself but they handle all the forms processing and it saves you the problems of running CGI scripts or hassle with the installation and configuration.

      They provide a free trial account and a full account for about about $1/month.
