mailto: as a form action is highly unreliable, so much so that it is effectively unusable on the WWW.

You need to set the action to an HTTP (or, preferably, HTTPS) URL and then handle the form submission using a server side technology.

Reading form data and sending email is relatively trivial in any server side programming language. So you could start by seeing what your server supports along those lines and then just using that.

Alternatively, there are (or at least there were last time I looked) third party form mailer services which allow you to set the action to a URL hosted on their site.
