There are many ways to do this. All of them involve some coding to be done. The easiest way would be to create an application using html form tags, then post the form to the users default mail client. They then send the text to you via an email. This only works if your user has a "real" email account (got to be done through outlook, netscape, thunderbird ect)

 

Another way that this can be accomplished is to post the data to a php script that then mails the data to you.

 

You can download a flash extension that includes a simple php script (this is the way I do) or, you can post to a similar file. I am not at home right now, but here is a link to a php script that will do just that.

 

PHP Mailer

 

Or try Macromedia for the flash extension/php script there.

 

Of course, if you have a host that can use Cold Fusion, just use the CFMail tags

(most hosts have php though, so this is the best way to go)

 

**UPDATE**

 

Did a bit of browsing last night. Here is the website of the really cool dude who made the flash for the emailer

 

Black Blog

 

It is in spainish, though english is a bit farther down. He has a single zip file that contains everything--even a pdf that explains the php script to handle the mailing.
