Looks like you've already gotten answers, but I wanted to mention that forms in HTML email are a big spam flag. If you're mailing to a large group or to certain domains/spam handlers, you may easily get flagged for bulk mail. -- Mike Johnson Smarter Living, Inc.

In either case the answer is yes. If the former, the example in the manual for 'mail()' will send you in the right direction, if the latter simply make the form target= http://www.example.com/yourscript.php.
