You need some sort of server side processing, because html will just give 
you the format to use, not the means to process it. I personally use php, 
because I just can't get the hang of perl/CGI.

Yes, the format of the form on the page doesn't matter. I use tables all 
the time to format the page. What matters is the code used to process the 
form, and making sure to name each form element, and giving each element 
appropriate variables.

I have a basic form setup I use in PHP, and I know there are scripts for 
CGI forms. If you just have that small amount of stuff, look at Matt's 
Scripts: http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml. If you are 
interested in php, and your server supports that, do a Google search on 
"php form mail", as I found several entries.
