Using PHP would probably be the easiest.

As Kevin said change the form action to the script you want to perform the processingYour form is set to post : method=POSTIn your script process the $_POST array to obtain the data from the form.
Look at fopen and fwrite and see which meets your needs. You probably want to open the file for append.

Hope this helps.

This form sends its information to a script called bluemail on your web server.  That script sends the email.  So, you will need to either edit that script, or write a new one and redirect the action= in the form command to the new script.

So, it depends on language options.
