the problem is you are using a MAILTO in your ACTION property. this is not widely supported and thus causes that effect you spoke of to happen.

the solution is to :
a) create/find/upload your own script to process emails in a server side language such as PHP or Perl/CGI.
b) use an online script that is free such as http://www.bravenet.com

I use CGI mail forms so I just have to use submit and the form action is "/cgi-bin/cgiemail" method="post" which mails to me.
