    Code: [Select]

    <form action="MAILTO:<yourcensoredemailaddress>" method="post" enctype="text/plain">


    The code is right, your problem is the following:

    That's so easy; what could possibly be wrong with it? What's wrong is that it makes assumptions that may not be valid and, as a result, it is very unreliable.. It assumes that:

        * The user's browser knows what to do with a mailto link
        * The user has e-mail client software installed and properly configured
        * The user's e-mail software knows what to do with a mailto url
        * The user's security settings allow this to happen without prompting with a security alert

    Let's consider some of the things that can go wrong:

        * The user uses a webmail service, like hotmail
        * The user is using a public computer at a library or Internet cafe
        * The user uses a browser or e-mail software that doesn't recognize the mailto
        * The user's security settings cause a prompt, alerting the user of a potential security problem

    If none of those apply, your form results will be sent like you wanted.
