Can SMTP collect and transfer CGI <form> data ??

I never saw such a thing, but it would be very comfortable
for quick and specific answers to e-mails:

If I have a web page starting and ending with <html> and
</html>,
this can have a <form> section and some <input ..."text">
lines and
an <input   .. "submit"> button. Then my browser and the
HTTP
can take care that those CGI data are transmitted, so a Perl
script can
utilize them.

Am I right if I suppose that if I manage to equip the HTML
partition of an e-mail with form, input and submit elements,
then
the mainly used e-mail programs do *not* have an
opportunity  to
transfer the content of such elements to a perl script,
because SMTP
is not designed for that, nor are the browsers?

Or is there a direct way (other than attaching a file or
adding
a clickkable link to a web page form) to directly adding and

transferring fill-in-elements?
