Form Email Doesn't Consistently Work

I have a web site created with Publisher 2000 that
contains two forms that collect data and the data is
submitted via email. The form was created in HTML as
required by the program, however, when various users
complete the form, some of the data is sent perfectly. It
seems that the command ACTION="mailto" nolonger is
supported by some browsers. I need a fool proof method to
get my data from all or most browsers. Can anyone help?

"some of the data is sent perfectly" - what does that mean?
you don't actually say what the problem is you're seeing.
maybe it's that you don't get responses on all fields?? and that would be
because the user didn't fill in a response.

Unless you've tinkered with the code (i.e. action, etc.) the form will be
functional in all standard browsers. If you can disprove that please provide
the URL and state the browser involved.

Other then using Publishers built in support of FPSE to provide the form
processing you would have to use your own form processing program.
