Gazing into my crystal ball I observed "Neil Kennedy"

and at the bottom I have
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="redirectfile.html">
Okay, so your action is mailto - mailto does not know anything about
redirection. Server side scripts know how to redirect.
I am hoping to avoid using scripting, purely and simply because I haven't
got a clue what I am doing with it! I did set up a simple form on a (very)
simple page years ago, which didn't use any scripting, and was hoping to
head off down that path again. Is there any way round this?
No, there's not - and if you think redirecting from a mailto: was what you
were doing years ago, you're misremembering things, because that has *never*
worked.
Think about it - a redirect is an HTTP response from a web server. A mailto:
URL is simply handed off to the email client. How do you expect the browser
to get a response from a web server, when it never connects to one?
