Is there a "form-mailer" CGI program available with dreamhost? I'm trying to make a simple text box with a submit button where people can subscribe to my mailing list, so when they submit it just gets emailed to me, but I'm not too sure of what I'm doing. Any step by step advice would be much appreciated.

That definitely helps. But how do I make a blank text field where people can type in their e-mail and press submit and then that gets emailed to me? I have this code:

<FORM method="post" name="newsletter" action="http://formmail.dreamhost.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<INPUT type=text name="email" value="Type Here" size=15 AUTOCOMPLETE=ON>
<INPUT TYPE="image" src="http://www.averytrips.com/submit.jpg" alt="Submit">
</FORM>

It's supposed to be e-mailed to newsletter@averytickets.com. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
