Stop using that hack and use a real script to process your form. A form
with action="mailto:[email protected]" won't work for a lot of people,
won't be as customizable, and will just plain suck.

Form? Mailto? Bad idea: http://www.isolani.co.uk/newbie/mailto.html

Now you have a server side script processing your data
<http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/>, you can do whatever calculations
you want in that script.

Correct, but is better than nothing if you don't have server side
processing.....
