From the HTTP RFC:
The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient to
a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the request or
identification of a new resource. For 201 (Created) responses, the
Location is that of the new resource which was created by the request.
For 3xx responses, the location SHOULD indicate the server's preferred
URI for automatic redirection to the resource. The field value consists
of a single absolute URI.
Location = "Location" ":" absoluteURI
Your script doesn't appear to be trying to do a re-direct, but rather open a client side e-mail - if you want to do this, then you will need to use JavaScript on the client side.
HTH,
Mikey
