I want to create xml documents from data typed into my website. Here's
an example of an xml file produced by my website:

<Bug>
<Problem>
<DateEntered>2/21/2007</DateEntered>
<Description>The program hung when I clicked Save.</Description>
</Problem>
<Resolution>
<DateResolved></DateResolved>
<Solution></Solution>
</Resolution>
</Bug>

I want users to open these xml files thru an InfoPath form so that
they fill out the DateResolved and Solution fields and then email the
xml file. InfoPath the right tool for this?

Yes, you can use InfoPath, but please be aware that users must have InfoPath
installed on their machines to be able to fill out the forms. Emailing can be
done by creating an email data connection in InfoPath. To base a form
template on an existing XML document or schema, see
