You will find a lot of information on google. Search for "email form html".

There are generally three methods:

1. Use <form ... action="mailto:your@email.com">
This relies on the user's email program and will require that they send the email directly to you. It's not very professional, but it's easy. It's also not entirely reliable.

2. Use a "free form mailer" (google that). A little more complicated, still easy, and reliable. Easier for the user. The main problem is that you can't control the format of the email you receive and that they may contain ads. This is usually not a problem if you are receiving all emails, but if you want to send something to one of your visitors, a poorly formatted email with ads will not look very professional. The other problem is that the free form mailers require that your visitors go to an external page (at the free form mailer's website) in order to send it. This is automatic, but it can look unprofessional that they leave your site. Some allow for redirects back to your site.

3. Build your own (or use an existing system) based on PHP or another serverside language. You will submit the form to a processing page and that page will then send you an email. It can be completely customized and is the "best" solution. But it's also the most complicated.
