I have three related questions right now. I think they are all pretty
straightforward for experienced web programmers; I am pretty much a
novice at this.

I know how to create a mailto with something in the subject line or
the body. What I want to do is just slightly more complicated.

I want to set up a site so that the user can enter text in a form
field, then later have *that* text show up in the body of an e-mail. I
expect that I could do this with JavaScript but I have no idea how.
Insight?

Informed comments welcome!

Generally speaking, you would do this through the web server, not
through JavaScript.  What kind of web server are you using (IIS,
Apache, Java-based)?

Hmm. I am not sure. Can you tell me how to find out?

Is the site hosted in your company/school or is it hosted externally?
