Emailing Using Hotmail / Yahoo

[Jase]

Hi,

Not sure whether this is possible but what i want is to add an "Send To
A Friend" button, but i want the button to send an email to an address
(Specified by user) from my personal Hotmail or Yahoo account instead
of starting the users default email client.

Thanks for any help

You should be glad that this is not easily possible. BTW, it is possible
that there is no default e-mail client.

Probably you are looking for a form-mailer instead. That does not have
anything to do with your personal Hotmail or Yahoo account, though. And
unless you have a server with server-side JavaScript or JScript support
(the latter through ASP) and intend to use that for the form-mailer, it
does not to have anything to do with J(ava)Script at all.

So its not going to be a simple 10 lines of code then! Is there any
other way of sending mail from my page without the use of asp. Really
want it as simple as possible.

Definitely not, unless you use a public form-mailer service, such as
<URL:http://formmailer.com/>, or a similar service of your Webspace
provider.

You can use any server-side application that provides an SMTP interface.
However, if it is not Server-Side JavaScript, or server-side JScript with
ASP, it is out of the scope of this newsgroup.

Sophisticated and simple are almost always mutually exclusive.
