Well, the "Action" is "Post" and the "Encoding" can be anything you like,
and the "Method" is the name of the server-side script you are using to
process the results.

But then you need to build a script on the server that grabs the data,
validates it, enters it into a record, and creates an email from it.

Given that you have asked this question, it will take you about two years to
learn enough web scripting to do this securely and reliably. You would be
better off paying a professional to do this for you, at least for the first
time.

Have a look here:

That software will do exactly what you want, and you do not have to bother
about how it all works.
