Hello,
I remember that feedback problem.
But now it is not very clear what you want to achieve after the user press &quot;Send your feedback&quot;.
Could you explain a little bit more?

By using the mailto: action you send a email from the computers email address, which might not be that good since more and more people are using webmail.
Instead you should make a Form2Mail engine in CGI, if your host supports it.
