There are *many* more, AIUI.

Basically you have two options to offer the possibility to your visitors
to send a mail to you: (a) you use the "mailto:" protocol, which may not
work, as already explained, or (b) you use an (X)HTML form. The latter
may be offered in some kind of "popup", which may be a new browser
window or some kind of CSS "popup"; the latter requires browser side
scripting, which may not be available. The former *may* cause usability
problems.

Anyway, you should heed Timothy's advice and get a book (or online
tutorial/course) to get a basic understanding of web development before
trying to implement option (b). And you may consider looking up some
site, where a mail contact link/form/whatever is implemented in a way
you like. Looking at the way its implemented may give you some valuable
hints (however, note that simply copying foreign code may be copyright
infringement; furthermore it may cause problems, if you don't understand
what the code does).

And please consider not posting via Google Groups if possible. Reading
these posts is often[1] a real pain, let alone replying to them.
