Easily my friend.
<?php

$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$to = $_POST['to'];
$body = $_POST['body'];
$from = "no-reply@mysite.com" // Optional
$headers = "From: $from"; // Optional

mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);


Use/modify as needed

Good enough joey.

@Hijibiji - The method is different for sending HTML e-mails. You need to include some more information in your headers, such as the Content-Type. What joey has will be great for just plaintext e-mails.
