DON'T PANIC!

What does the form output ?? try outputting to screen:

Get all that sorted then concentrate on the email side of things...

You shouldn't be using $HTTP_POST_VARS - it's deprecated and I don't think PHP5 supports that any longer (or at least I know it can be turned off in php.ini). Try using $_POST['varname'] instead, and see how that works.
