Try starting your form with this:

<form action="http://www.tamu.edu:80/cgi/mailto.pl" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="errorsto" value="name@host.demon.nl">
<input type="hidden" name="mailitto" value="name@host.demon.nl">
<input type="HIDDEN" name="subject" VALUE="Any subject you want">
Your real name:        <input name="namefrom" size=45>
Your e-mail address:   <input name="mailfrom" size=45>

This works fine for me. Pse let me know if it works for you too...
