this message has nothing to do with your form code if i'm right

I believe i got this too the first time i used my computer when everything was installed again. It is just warning you that you send this via email and that your email adress can be seen by the one that receives the message also if you didn't filled in your email adres.

it is justa warning. Isn't there a little box below that says "don't view me this message again" or something like that? so that you can check it, and click "OK" and it will never show up again.

Love,
Mirna

Or you could try using an email form from www.bravenet.com

You can customise it to how you want it to look, and you can make it go to a thank you page (or whatever you want). It sends through Bravenet and not through, for example, Outlook Explorer.

I believe this message appears because you have MAILTO in your ACTION value for your form. The alert message is standard in some browsers when they encounter this type of data transfer.

To fix your problem, you should very much consider using a 3rd party form script (such as bravenet) or if you have the ability to use Perl/CGI or PHP, you can get your own script to handle form processing and emailing.
