It doesn't work:
<form name="Mail" action="mailto:design@rawconfusion.com?
subject=RawConfusion Comments"

For starters, mailto: as a form action is unreliable - you'll never know 
whether the mail client even tried to send the message, whether it 
killed the user's browser or machine, or one of a variety of other 
problems.

Secondly, you've added the subject to the mailto URL.  That's bad - it's 
a malformed URL, and can result in lost mail, mail client freezing, etc.

Thirdly, you've mixed a GET querystring with a POST method.
