Add "send to" email address to a form?

[Guest]

I'm trying to include the ability to send an email on my website, using
FrontPage 2002.

I've added a form by clicking "Insert" and "form", then gone to "form
properties" and added the email address to the "Send to" field. However,
when I try to save the file, I get an error message that says that the
"FrontPage server extensions have not been set up" and that I need to contact
the "Internet Service Provider".

I upload the file anyway to Yahoo, and I get an error message when I try to
send myself an email using the form.

So what gives? Any ideas? Why would it be so difficult to include an email
address to send info to? Or is there some secret that I should know for
including a "send to" email address? Perhaps I shouldn't use a "form"?

Thanks!

As the error message says, you need to contact your hosting service. They
need to set up the FrontPage Server Extensions for email transport. You
can't do this yourself.

Yes....contact your host and have them set up the extensions as the error
message suggests.

You have to publish by HTTP mode from Frontpage for any of the form
components to work (unless you use third-party server side scripts to
process the form data) and you can't do that unless the server extensions
are functioning.
