Dreamweaver user, tip on forms

Is it possible for a Dreamweaver user to insert a simple email form, without any special server control, ie PHP?. In other words if I design the page, I can give it to somebody, so it will work, when he uploads it.

If I put any email address into this form, it seems to POPUP my default browser.

Any good tutorials would be great. I had one but have lost it since.

HTML itself cannot send e-mails. The closest thing you would be able to get would be cgiEmail. or something. Most hosts provide a cgi-bin at the very least.
