I'm new to this list as well!

What you need to do is find out if your WebProvider either supports your
own CGI scripts or has some ready made scripts which you are able to use.
If the latter (as in most cases), there is usually a simple mailform
script which will take the data from the form and email it to you.
If so, you will need to change the 1st line of the form to something like:
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="cgi-bin/mailform.cgi">

If it's the former, you need to learn a bit of CGI programming :-(
