have you read the module Help?
What does this do?

Display's a contact form. This can be used to allow others to send an email message to the address specified.
How do I use it?

Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {contact_form email="yourname@yourdomain.com"}

If you would like to send an email to multiple adresses, seperate each address with a comma.
What parameters does it take?

    * email - The email address that the message will be sent to.
    * (optional) style - true/false, use the predefined styles. Default is true.
    * (optional) subject_get_var - string, allows you to specify which _GET var to use as the default value for subject.

      Example:
      {contact_form email="yourname@yourdomain.com" subject_get_var="subject"}

      Then call the page with the form on it like this: /index.php?page=contact&subject=test+subject

      And the following will appear in the "Subject" box: "test subject"
    * (optional) captcha - true/false, use Captcha response test (Captcha module must be installed). Default is false.

Best bet is to use Form Builder...

NOTE: This plugin is deprecated
This plugin has been removed as of CMS made simple version 1.5

Thanks Dr. CSS for your suggestion...

i just installed Form Builder,
but i think it is too many options inside and so messy,
i am rather familiar with code to customize a form than such graphical interface.

Contact Form is more suitable for my need.

thanks anyway.

The contact form plugin is not support anymore, and is removed from further versions of CMSMS.

The recommended solution is the third party option 'formbuilder'.
