If you want a mail with content to be sent in the background (for example like forum registration usually works), you need to do this server-side as the flash client cannot automatically communicate with mailservers on the web.
Since Flash seems to have good php integration, my suggestion would be to use that.

There's many ways to do this, but I agree that PHP is the best way.
www.flashkit.com has many examples of this technique.

just to exclude all possibility of doubt here.
yeah php is the way to go.
i don“t know if you have any books about flash ?
if you have check out for an example with flash and php exchange. normally there is a chapter that covers this, at least sketchily.
cheers
