After the form has been submitted how to get a thanku.htm page to open in the same frame.
Using the mailto protocol, there is no reliable way to do this. If you want to reliably forward your users after they submit the form, you will need to look into a server side language such as PHP, CGI/Perl, or ASP.

Yes with cgi - Formail it can be done easily. But is it possible to do it with mailto. Actually the contact form is on a CD. If I use Formail to submit then the person will have to be online to submit the form. However, if he is offline then mailto will keep the submitted form in the outbox.

Perfect. What lines do I need to add to make it work in IE6? The ebook generator I am using requires IE.
Alright then, take a look at this thread: http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5861
