If it is a one off, save it to your local disk and email it as an attachment.
Otherwise, if you want to code it, create a new button and enter the code shown on page 239 of J P Terry's excellent book "Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer)" which has a copyright of 2008. I would give it to you, but would be breaching the copyright so cannot.

Trigun - Try creating a "Submit by email" button on your form, using a plain button in the library (NOT the email one they have by default). Copy and paste this javascript to use for your button, in the "click" function:

event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:youraddress [at] youremail [dot] com?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed PDF form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});Give that a try and see if it works for you. =)
