Emailing user entry

atruchan7609

We are designing a course with a free form text box. We need to have access to the information the user types in the free form box. Ideally we'll include a submit button next to the free form box which emails us the user's entry.
Has anyone done this? Any ideas on how to program the submit button?
The course will be housed locally; it will not be linked to an LMS.
