Problem with outlook and Mailto

[ChairShot]

Hi, I want to use MailTo: to send contents of a form to my email
address. Microsoft Outlook keeps popping up and disrupting everything.
If I was at home, I would just rip it out (uninstall), and that would
be that. But I can't do that on the PCs I am using.

What should I do?

Huh? Well, then, where are you?

mailto: should never be used as the action="" in an HTML form. It should
always be a server-side component of some kind. Build one of those that
automails the form contents. What is the problem?

Google free form mail for a much better solution.
