To send html emails (which can have document layout, text style so on and so fourth) you need an smtp server, and a server side language to connect to it and specify html as the mail format. www.webdevfaqs.com has stuff about how to do mailing with php.

This is an extraordinaryly outdated method of sending email from a web page. Its got several flaws.

Take PeOfEo's advice and use a SSL to send emails.

well if it's not to send a form, rather to assist the user in sending an email then it's ok

Actually, you were, lol. If you notice in the original poster's post, he is using a link, and not a form. :D
