i have a simple form...
name
email
comments
(submit)


all i want to have happen is i want for when someone pushes 'submit' to email me the info at my gmail account. How would i do this?

edit: Ive tried putting this in the actions "/cgi-bin/BFormMail.pl" but i dont know where i actually enter my email address for it to email to me... i tried 'mailto:myemail@gmail.com' but thats not what im looking for obviously

you should be able to add the mailto and it work fine:
Code:
<form method="post" enctype="text/plain" action="mailto:your@email.com" name="trythis_form">
if you want to use the formmail though you have to have perl setup, pointing to the rightdirectory and all that...
