Use CGI, PHP, ASP, etc. to process the form. "mailto" frankly sucks IMHO. :)

About your site. Don't change the links to uppercase when you hover on them. It shifts your menu around and it's annoying. This is one of the common newbie web design errors that I see and I forgot it on my list. I'll add it shortly.

Your background image should be defined in your external CSS. Define it to repeat only going up and down.

background-image:url(background.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-y;

Set your background color as #FFF, aka white. When your background image ends on wider resolutions it will blend in nicely doing it that way. Make your background image 1px tall. This will cut down on load time a bunch.

Your image with the state on it is way too big. You have a lot of needless white area going on. Trim it down to just the map area and use that. Again, load times. As it stands now, the image still kind of stands out, in a not exactly a good way, with your background. Shorten the width of your background image to where you can place the map in a area where the background is already white.

The names of the counties on you image are VERY hard to read.

If you are going to use red, blue, and yellow in your logo, you might want to use one of those colors in your background image instead of purple.

Out of interest the standard mailto is beneficial, as an aid for web accessibility unfortunately the spammers have abused the accessibility aspect.
