<form action="MAILTO:<yourcensoredemailaddress&GT;" 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.
