well really speaking you need a server side language such as php, which naturally GoDaddy probably don't offer you.
So you can either go the less reliable way of
<form action="mailto:me@mydomain.com" enctype="text/plain">
Your form in here
</form>
Or if you visit http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39991 then a friend of mine is for some reason offering to process peoples forms for free with his php server. No idea why. Anyway, it's the second post, 1st code block.

Actually it seems like GoDaddy does support PHP -- and I'm sure there are plenty of code snippets you can find right here on DaniWeb to help you get started.

well if it supports php you could try a friend of mine's script: http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer
$to = "ee@eddieelmi.com"; #set address to send form to
$subject = "Results from your Request Info form"; #set the subject line
$headers = "From: Form Mailer"; #set the from address, or any other headers ***********************
$forward = 0; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no
$location = "eddieelmi.com.htm"; #set page to redirect to, if 1 is above
The $headers form, is this the line that the email address that a visitor submitted, so I will be able to reply to them, and what code do I replace in this line to make it do that because the from line from the actual email is : Form.Mailer@linhost108.mesa1.secureserver.net
Thanks for all your help

yes change it to
$headers = "From: $email"; #set the from address, or any other headers
and then add a field to your form named email.
