For best results, use a form-to-email processing script. Mailto: doesn't work with devices that don't have a dedicated email client installed (gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail, etc...). Also, you're vulnerable to spam because your address isn't hidden from email harvesters.

Contact your web host and ask them if they have a script you can use. Hosts often load scripts on their servers which you can activate through your Admin Panel or by referencing the script in your form's action attribute.

     <form action="path/form-to-email-script.php">

If your host doesn't provide scripts, ask them which server-side languages you can use (php, asp, asp.net, perl, coldfusion, etc...).
