Yes, but you have to decide whether you want this action done by user's email client (client side) or use form processor (server side) to do the email action.

Corrected spelling.

Client-side just uses the user's own email program to put in the data and mail it to you. Uses a "mailto:" link. Not that reliable since it depends on them doing it with their own email program.
