I am beginning in HTML programming and was wondering if it is possible
to create a mailing form (eg. enter name and address) then be able to send
this to a mailing address. ÿI am using this a sign up form.
Is this possible to write in HTML code or can it only be done in CGI.
You cant do that. Html is not really a programming language, it is mostly design. You can send emails with PHP/ASP(.NET), CGI and other server side scripts.
hope this helps as it did for me with Hostcrate Networks which im designing and working on. so if it goes to a 404 error then it means that i haven't gotten that far.

I think there was some website for giving you html code to place on your website, and when the customers contact you that website will resend you the email. Google it!
Javascript can email a form but, there are alternatives to send the form data to an email address.
There is no direct method provided by JavaScript to send the data submitted in the form to an email address.
The main concern for not providing a 'JavaScript email form' feature is security.
Suppose there is a feature in JavaScript to send email. Some malicious coder can write a script to send email to some address immediately when you visit their page. This will reveal your email address to some third party without your knowledge. They will start filling your mail box with lots of spam messages!
I personally use Wufoo now and then to create online forms. If you need advanced submit forms (or many of them) and lots of reporting, you'll have to pay, but they have a free option that allows for 3 forms and 10 "fields".
