What you can do, is use the getUrl command with a button, just enter “mailto: [youremail@youremail.me](mailto:youremail@youremail.me)” in the url box of the actions panel. that should do it. Good luck, Matt ---

Thats what your would do to make the user link and make the message themselves but if you want what he wants, which is a ‘form’ then you need CGI enabled on your server or .asp and if you do message back and when I get home I will give you a sample .asp page to use to make a user input form! ---

Ive hosted on geocities forever and I have yet to of found it able to use any CGI or perl. Ive been in search forever for a place that does that’s free…it’s hard to find. If I could get CGI working, my site would be friggen awesome. ([come.to/colossus)](http://come.to/colossus)) but…looks like all us geocities members are screwed for right now. Should we complain to Yahoo bout it? (They own geocities.) ---
