I assume this is PHP based, so here's my PHP based answer:

You can check if the field is blank or not simply by putting a

if($_POST['email'] == "") {
die("You have not entered an email.");
}

You can also get a little fancy by using the eregi() function to verify that the inputted email is in the proper email format (*****@***.***). I advise googling the regular expression for email-format matching, as regexp's aren't my strong suit.



It is also possible to use JavaScript to make sure that it is filled out, but this can be problematic if the client has JavaScript disabled in their browser.

I custom coded a php mailer to do exactly what he needed whilst having a little more flexibility.
