Form Action MailTo problems

Question

Hello.

I have an internal website that has a feedback page. The Feedback page is designed as a web form (<FORM ACTION></FORM) to take the data and use a mailto to mail the results to a mailbox. For windows XP it works fine. Internet Explorer 7. But when someone is running this on a Windows 7 machine using IE9, it looks like its displaying the page but no email gets sent and the page is redirected (should happen). I googled the issue and i noticed IE8+ and Windows 7 has issues using HTML web forms with Outlook 2007. No solution though.

Is there any way to get this fixed?

Here is the work around suggested, does not seem to work though

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7">

Thanks.
