    Everyone uses some EMAIL.. even if its hotmail or whatever.. or yahoo online..

    The form shouldnt rely on their email.. but your SERVER mail if you have it set up correctly.

    Its only if you use the email link that it would OPEN their email or cause an error.. the form shouldnt.

      I must have not worded my question correctly.

      I do not use web based email, I mean I download messages from yahoo in Thunderbird and reply from Thunderbird.

      A lot of people do not use email clients that is why I ask about a web form.

      Hope it is clear now.

        As Karen already said...it doesnt matter how u do it, everyone uses an email client whether it is free or paid, online or downloaded.....

        What u may be trying to ask is if someone does not have an email account....in that case u could not respond 2 them

          What you dont understand is.. the form will send YOU mail regardless of what they use. And if you have an autoresponder set up.. it will send them mail.. no matter what they use if they have typed in their email address and you have set it up that way.

          The only time it will become an issue is if you use a LINK instead of the form. The link use the command MAILTO.. which opens THEIR email client to send you an email. This has NOTHING to do with using a form.

            Dear Karen,

            We have now come to where we should have been! I use the MAILTO command. I want to use a web-sent email form for those who do not use email clients on their computers.

            Thank you!

              Then you have to create a FORM and not use the link.

              Your question was about a form.. originally.. and i have repeatedly answered both scenarios for you.. but you arent listening or arent reading. You cant make a LINK that sends you mail that doesnt USE THEIRS. You can make a FORM and it will send you mail.

              So.. create a form on the page.
