Form question

I have a simple form (name, email, message) created in Muse (it doesn't have to be) and hosted on Business Catalyst. It works but the functionality is not what I need.

I need to have a form that emails the form (to a designated email) with the from address being the address of the person who submitted the form, the subject being a preset subject (inquiry from website) and the contents being from the message field of the form..

This is really easy to do with PHP but Business Catalyst doesn't support that. I don't need to use any of the BC CRM features either , Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.

You can use the BC form to mail option:
Setting up Form to Email using Web Forms

But read it carefully. The person you email HAS to be in the CRM as an anti spam prevention feature BC had to introduce as it was being abused.

That solution doesn't work because the email has to be in the CRM, which is impossible because there's no way to know the incoming email address.

The CRM in BC is okay but it's way overkill and really clunky for a small entity.

Then use a 3rd party mail form service.
