Post Simple Form Question

hello, i want a submit button for feedback that sends it directly to my email, without the user having to go to theirs. I have a small site, so verifying the email is not important. i have the following form and when i click submit, it just opens my email client and puts all of the info ready to send, i want it to just send automatically and bring up a confirmation page. help ? here is what i have:

<CODE>
<form action="mailto:franny@frannysites.com" method="post">
Your Name<input type="text" name="name" /><br>
Your Email<input type="text" name="email" /><br>
<textarea name="comments" rows="5" columns="150">What's on your mind?</textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Shout it!">
</form>
</CODE>

form by email

If you don't want the form to open an email client app, you nee to change it's "action" value form "mailto" to point to a file that sends emails. There are quite a few (Perl, PHP, etc.), so depending on your server capabilities, you should be able to find something if you google for "formmail".
