I am creating a small "mailto:" form and I have it working fine. The user fills out all the fields, clicks submit and I get the information in my email. However, after the user clicks submit, it looks like nothing has happened. Can I have it forward to a new URL or file so the user knows his info has been submitted? This is the code I've used:

<head>
<title></title>
<meta name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 4.0&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;ProgId&quot; content=&quot;FrontPage.Editor.Document&quot;>
</head>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot;>

<font size=&quot;+3&quot;>
<form enctype=&quot;text/plain&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;mailto:marklegault@ohgolly.net&quot; name=&quot;mainform&quot;>
&amp;nbsp;
<table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;73%&quot; height=&quot;210&quot;>

<td width=&quot;30%&quot; height=&quot;28&quot;></td>
