After much trial and error coding, the following line of code works 
fine:
<FORM METhOD=3DPOST NAME=3D"Comments" 
ACTION=3Dmailto:nmaffei@a... enctype=3D"text/plain"
                       onsubmit=3D"return checkform(Comments)">
The contents of the comments in the text box are sent to the specified 
E-mail address.Works fine for bith Netscape and IE.
If anyone sees any pitfalls with its use, please let me know.

  It appears because IE has no inbuilt mail program - unlike Netscape 
Communicator -  so you get this screen. You ae probably better off using 
one of the free server side form handler scripts which will email you as 
well.

    I created a form which contains a space for a user to add comments 
or questions.
    It is simple code.
    <FORM Name=3D"Comments" ACTION=3Dmailto:nmaffei@a... 
enctype=3D"text/plain"  onsubmit=3D"return checkform( Comments )">
    
    checkform simply creates a "thank you" alert.
    
    When the user clicks the "submit" button, the alert appears as 
planned, but the next screen that pops up is Outlok Express.
    The E-mail address appears in the header of Outlook Express.
    Why does Outlook Express pop up, and why are the form contents not 
sent directly to the impedded address.
