E-mailing form results to me

Ok, this is probably laughingly simple to the experts out here.
Go ahead and laugh, but can ya help me too...please?
Well, from that intro, you have probably gathered that I am not a PHP programmer.
Anyway, here it is:
I found a CAPTCHA script that I really liked. However, the author neglected to include code that would
take the input entered into the form and e-mail them to me.
I went looking around for other form handling scripts that sent the results in order to "piece it together" with the CAPTCHA
script. The thing is, most of these scripts get WAY to involved with their own validating processes and such, so
I can not get any to work.
I have a couple of little "send results to my email" snippets inserted into the code now, but like I said, they are not working.
Can someone please take a look at it and well...fix it?
I intend to learn PHP, but at this point, I just need the script to work.
Also, it is important that the "Thank You Page": "header("Location: http://www.metroactive.com/contact/thanks.html"); " remain functional.
I would be really grateful for this.
In the code I am providing, I will comment with :"Pieced in" on those parts that are from the 2nd script that sends form responses. All the rest of the code is from the "CAPTCHA" script.

Thanks folks

RE: E-mailing form results to me

Dude, when I said "fix it", I was speaking in hyperbole.
