well for one thing, ur gonna have to rename those "checkboxes"... they all are named "checkbox".

after that, simply use the $_POST variables from php to format ur message into one variable, make the $_POST['email'] (or w/e) into the sending email address and use the mail() function of php. http://www.php.net/mail
