Good. This has many advantages over e-mail address.
This is more accessible than e-mail, because people who browse the web
don't necessarily have an SMTP client or a means to send e-mails. However
they need a browser which, most probably, supports forms.
Sometimes, the only internet access I get is a HTTP proxy without SMTP
server. In that case I can still use a webmail, but, not requiring people
to have a webmail is an accessibility feature.
(Giving both an e-mail address and an HTML form provides the best
accessibility).
Beware: HTML forms can be spammed.
