I am creating a small form that only has three fields, none of it is critical data. Is there a way for the form to get mailed to me when someone fills it out?

I put in the action part of the code "mailto:____" but then when I uploaded it to the site, filled it out and pressed Submit, a pop up window came up telling me that this message is getting sent through an e-mail, and then opened up Microsoft Outlook...I think I might be doing something wrong. Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks :)

Nope, that's what happens with a mailto form.

To avoid it happening you will have to use a server side mail function.
