mailto attribute does not work on mobile

My mailto attribute does not work in the default android browser (before 4.0). It opens a new browser that cannot find the link.

<form enctype="text/plain" method="post" action="mailto:[email protected]">

If you use a form in this way, you are trying to post to the server. So when you click on the submit button of this form, your browser is trying to post to the server at the address "mailto:[email protected]", which is not a valid URL.

The correct use of a mailto link is with an anchor, this will give you the desired effect:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">email me</a>
