I have hosted a single static HTML page using GitHub Pages. I need to add a "Send Feedback" feature to my static page where a user can type in his name, email, comments and click the SUBMIT button. This will send an email with the contents to my email address. Can this somehow work in a static HTML page on GitHub? Does GitHub Pages support this mailing feature?
I also want to know what features/plugins etc can GitHub Pages server support based on the underlying web server it uses?
