simple form in a block

What is the best method to use to send simple form information to an email address?
Basically what I'm doing is creating a simple form in a block for users to register for an event. I just want to be able to email that info to a specific address and redirect the user to a static thank-you page.
Seems simple enough till I start looking at all the different ways people are doing it, most way more complex then I need.
Thanks in advance,
Alan

I have always used cgiemail from http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/ .
Unix platforms only.
It uses a template. The form is simple.
Template named questions3.txt:
Subject: questions three
blank line
What is your name? [yourname]
What is your quest? [quest] BODY
What is your favourite colour? [colour]
Form:
ACTION="http://web.mit.edu/bin/cgiecho/wwwdev/cgiemail/questions3.txt">
Your e-mail address: <INPUT NAME="email"><p>
Your name: <INPUT NAME="yourname"><p>
Your quest: <INPUT NAME="quest"><p>
Your favourite colour: <INPUT NAME="colour"><p>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Send e-mail">
</FORM>
