Default Submit/Post To Email?

What should I do with this form here:

Submit Photos Doggyworldtv

It is supposed to submit via email, but would a simple email link work better than submitting a file via a form to an email?

I realize that a server side script is a better solution, and would prevent having to wade through spam, but until then I'm not sure what's the best way to do this.

According to this page this is possible, but when I submit the form it submits to
Code:
http://doggyworldtv.com/doggy@doggyworldtv.com

Hi Justin,
My advice is to as soon as possible use a server side script for your emails. Your page is a sitting duck for spammers if they have not already harvested your address, its there for all to see.
There are heaps of free scripts available.
A simple one is Sonic Contact : SonicContact | SonicFog Web Development | Contact, Strategies, System, Website, Features, Phpmailer
Im sure someone will offer other script suggestions.

Regards

Hi Justin,
Ive had a think moment here
I guess you are looking for something very simple to install - ie no fuss and no complex script installation.
This site : Robert Packer's FREE Contact Form Generator
will generate online, a php contact form script for you with the fields you select.

You just cut and paste the php to a file and the form is just pasted into your site. Follow the very simple instructions.
It seems very simple & clean to install & will at least get you off the ground.
It maybe doesnt have all the bells and whistles but it will give you all those extra fields that you seems to want.
Hope that helps
Regards
