My website - www.ramblerseastcheshire.org.uk - has various links in it so that folk can send emails to, for example, the various officers of our club. Basically, I'm using the html "mailto:" function (obfuscated with JavaScript to confuse spambots) to do this, and it works fine if the user has an email client installed on their PC. But not if they're using Hotmail or some other webmail service, as they don't usually have or need such a client. I've been told that I'll need PHP, which I don't yet know anything about!

Any suggestions - other than reading a book on PHP?

You could use a form ie the Web Form Builder That would give some ones email for you and you could set up a response
