Have you every checked out the possible actions in HTML form tag ?

If you simple want to generate email you can do something like this

<FORM ACTION="mailto:targetmailbox_at_targetpostoffice.targetdomaine" NAME="mailform" >
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE=200 MAXLENGTH=1000>

If you have to pick the message from a field define this field

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" SIZE=30 MAXLENGTH=100 NAME="address">

Finally the submit button <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="SUBMIT" onClick="setmailtarget();">

So providing functionallity needed you would have to implement a javascript like the following. As demostrated above the javascript function setmailtarget() will be call every time the user clicks on the SUBMIT - Button.

function setmailtarget() {
 document.mailform.action = "mailto:"+ document.mailform.address.value ; -- this sets the mail - address as the form action target  document.mailform.submit(); // trigger form submit : This actually sends the from as email to the given email target. }
