    Your email client is setup through you ISP, first off. All you should have to do is make a button with the Get URL command that would read:

    mailto:me@yourisp.com

    get it?

    Ok I didn't make my post clear, I'm trying to use a flash movie to Email me using a CGI form..using the sendmail command in CGI.

    If I just do the mailto:me@yourisp.com it opens their email program, I don't want that.

    I want it to send from the flash movie using the CGI.

    I know its possible as I've seen it done.

    And your wrong about the Email client being setup through the ISP.. I may be nit picking but the Email client is setup to access your ISP or where ever you have your Email account which in my case is the latter as I own my own domain and am using the Email provided there.
