Depending on your email you might need to use server side scripting. Tell me who is hosting your web site. Some hosts will provide cgi.bin access for you for form email so you dont have to do hardly any work. If this does not work you can always go through an email redirect place, but that involes ads.

How about posting your code somewhere for us to look at and test ourselves?
