^^^^^^
Here is your problem. Don't send the form, the "action" parameter, to
"mailto". "mailto" requires the visitor have an email client, if it
works at all! You need to have the "action" point to a mail sending
script that runs on your server, like PHP, Perl, ASP, Python...
The server-side script then takes all the info you collected in your
form and builds the email and send it to your through your hosting
company's mail-server.

Take care,
