You did this:

Code:

<form action="MAILTO:Arfan_mahmood_786@hotmail.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

You need to do this:

Code:

<form action="LOCATION OF SCRIPT" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

As for how to make that script, check HotScripts.Com

You can't send results from a form in HTML. Here's why.

*deep breath*
HTML is not a programming language. It is a markup language. All HTML does is edit the text around it. Yes it creates tables and forms and puts in pictues. But HTML cannot handle or edit data. Not alone. That requires a programming langauge (ie: Javascript, Perl, PHP, ASP, Rebol, C++, many more). When the HTML form is submitted, it sends the data to the script, so that the script knows what to do with it. The HTML never knows what you're doing with the data. Ever.

For sending data to e-mail, I recommend using either Perl or PHP. You can find many Perl and PHP form-mailers on HotScripts.Com or NeedScripts.Com. Hope I helped.
