Try email.cgi version 5.0, an AppleScript CGI extracting the contents of
HTML forms and sending the results to one or more email addresses:

Email.cgi supports carbon copied and well as blind carbon copied
messages. It allows for required fields giving Webmasters to ability to
mandate data-entry for specific inputs before processing will be
completed. Email.cgi has two types of output: output to an email address
and output in the form of HTML documents. Both types are highly
customizable. No configuration is necessary to the program itself; all
customizations are done through the creation of HTML forms. Email.cgi
captures and optionally returns the bits of information sent by Web
browsers (environment variables) describing their operating environment.
The source code for email.cgi is freely available so you can make
changes as you see fit.

Using email.cgi writers of HTML documents can create things such as but
not limited to: surveys, order forms, requests for more information,
front-ends to mailing list commands, comment forms, purchase requests,
votes and polls, etc. Combined with your desktop email program's
filtering functions you will be able to use email.cgi to automatically
update databases, process mailing list requests, or return automated
email replies to specific questions.

Email.cgi should be completely backwards compatible with older versions
of the program. The forms you created using the older versions of
email.cgi should work just fine with this newer version. The only
difference you will see is the format of the program's output files.

If you know how or want to learn how to write HTML forms, and you can
meet the simple hardware and software of the application, then you can
use email.cgi.

"Email.cgi, since 1994. One of the older, if not the oldest, continually
supported CGI scripts for the Macintosh. Still free."
