If you use a mailto: as the action of the form- then the From: email
address is in the mail's header.

however- some computer's don't have a default email client.

some combinations of browser/email client will send a blank email.

Many people will cancel when they see the system warning that the form is
being sent by their email client.

it's back to what was said in this thread- use a serverside script so the
form works for everybody.
