 I've just started learning this myself, but a good start is CDONTS.

	<%
	Function SendMail
		Dim oMail
		Set oMail =3D Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
		oMail.Send "from@H...","To@t...","My
Subject","This is the body"
	End Function
	%>

Regards,
  Chuck

Do you mean you want to send the user an actual ASP page (maybe i read it 
wrong!). I don't think this in itself is possible (since ASP is server 
side and sending it to the client would make it client side)

You need to send them the HTML, which could be personalised via an ASP 
page server side (may mean sending out thousands individually almost, but 
hey...)

Here's some code I used for ASPMail component. Tthere's many out there, 
you need to find out which one your host uses, but CDONTS is a good place 
to start and they're all very similar. Check on sites like webmoney.com, 
aspmail.com, 4guysfromrolla.com etc they all have plenty of useful 
articles, sorry, don't have urls to hand 

hope this is a start at least

Kam :o)

I'm not sure I totally understand your question but...

If you would like to make an ASP page that sends email,
you need to things....

Form: A form that collects the content of the email.

<form method="POST" action="email.asp">
<p align="left">Your Name:<br> <input type="text" name="USER NAME" size="40"></p>
<p align="left">Your Email:<br> <input type="text" name="USER EMAIL" size="40"></p>
<p align="left">Comments/Questions:<br><textarea rows="12" name="DESCRIPTION"
cols="75"></textarea></p>
<p align="left"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>

Script: A small script that sends the email.

<%
body = "Form Field Values" & vbCrLf

'************************
'***Collect the values in the form. You can collect ALL or each one individually. 
'************************

For Each obj in request.form
body = body & obj & " : " & request.form(obj) & vbCrLf
Next
body = body & ""

'************************
'***Sends the Email
'************************

Dim objSendMail
Set objSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objSendMail.To ="user@u..."
objSendMail.From ="guest@g..."
objSendMail.Subject = "Subject of email"
objSendMail.Body = body 
objSendMail.Send 
Set objCDOMail = Nothing

'***********************
'Redirect them to a "Your message has been sent" page.
'***********************

response.redirect "thankyou.asp"
%>

I always add the contents of the form to a database record before sending the
mail. I'm really not aware of any way for an ASP page to Recieve Email.

Thank for your helpings, But my mean is how to configure in my computer 
can send and receive mail via Web Interface. 
I write a ASP page that it permit user register their email address to get 
news monthly. 
To test my ASP page correct? I wil run my ASP page in my local machine. 
After submit my email (simulate email address that I created ) in 
website,I use Outlook Express to see result. 
But in Outlook Express no that email. (I never used to Outlook Express to 
send or get mail in Internet that I only use to test my application) 
I try configured for my Outlook Express and IIS as MSDN (Microsoft) 
guided ? But no result? I think I wrong in configure IP Address for 
Outlook Express can connect to get mail?

So can you guide me to configure in my local machine? Please write detail 
for me ? (Because this is first time I write email application)
I using IIS 5.0 , Win 2000 Pro, IE 5.0.
Thank you.
