When you want to send a form with mailto you may have to add the enctype statement:

<FORM name="form" ACTION="mailto:swon@bluewin.ch" enctype="text/plain" METHOD="POST">
<li>Name<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Name" SIZE=30>
<li>Residence<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Residence" SIZE=30>
<li>Occupation<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Occupation" SIZE=40>
<li>Age<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Age" SIZE=10>
<li>Hobbies<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Hobbies" SIZE=100>
<li>Favorite Bands<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Favorite Band(s)" SIZE=30>
<li>Misc Information<INPUT TYPE=text NAME="Misc Information" SIZE=30>
<INPUT TYPE="submit">
<INPUT TYPE="reset">
</form>

this should do the trick!

its still not working, This page is in a IFRAME if it makes any difference, probly not tho. but THIS is the wierd part. Im using topcities as my server...when i preview the page im working on.....it works fine. i type some stuff in the boxes and send it to my adress and it comes back with everything.THATS ONLY in the preview box tho. as soon as i save my changes and go to the URL, then try it. It screws up. When i try to send the form text to my e-mail, write mail comes up, theres no sending adress, you have to type that in, and theres no text or attachments anywere to send. it weird

Yes it works. Eudora tried to send the below:

Name=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Residence=rrrrrrr
Occupation=rrrrrrr
Age=rrrrrrr
Hobbies=rrrrrrrr
Favorite Band(s)=rrrrrrr
Misc Information=gggggggg

mailto isn't reliable. Use a remotely hosted service for form handling if your host doesn't let you run scripts. :(
