Hi Monami,
as I said: This requires of course a formmailer script which processes
the submitted form data, and this script must be implemented separately
at the URL specified at <FORM action="...">
Surf the Internet about "formmailer script". You must implement such a
script independently from your Sphinx documentation. You can use PHP,
Python, CGI or whatever. Yes, that goes beyond what Sphinx can give
because it involves accepting and processing dynamic data.
