At Matt's Script Archive is a perl script called formmail.cgi. You can use
this to process the form data and email it to you. However, your hosting
service must allow you to configure this otherwise you may be at a dead end.
Installation and configuration is quite simple. However, if the email
address to which the registration is submitted is in the HTML page, then you
haven't hidden the email address and it would be open for harvesting. Some
hosting services will provide you access to their formmail scripts but you
must put your email address within your HTML form to make it work which
opens it up for harvesting.

HTH,
