  1. Cannot use e-mail to ask for credit card numbers! a lot of people 
NO WAY use internet for commerce. Less without SSL. even less by e-mail. 
e-mail is an open letter!

  2. You will need some kind of server side scripting for this. To 
recevie the form and process the order. Check Versign for this, they can 
manage all the process for you with very little money, you don't need 
SSL for your site, etc. Or PayPal, working in several countries.

  3. The best you can do in an e-mail, is to open a predefined mail, but 
no HTML formated. Try.

  Hope this help

    Thank you for the help, but it still won't work.  Now it brings up a 
mail box with the right subject but then in the body it says, 
information method=3D?yourname=3D.  So i have no idea why it says that 
now, or how to fix it.  here is the page, maybe you can look at it and 
let me know where i went wrong.

    Thank you for the help
