How do I generate a thank you page after a form submission with mailto:?

Martin Honnen,
Note first that mailto: urls are unreliable and not working with all
browser/mailer combinations. Note further that the following code just
uses setTimeout to document.write a thank you note. This will happen
whether the form was actually submitted or not.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function thankYou () {
var html =
'<HTML><BODY><H1>Thank you for form submission.<\/H1><\/BODY><\/HTML>';
document.open();
document.write(html);
document.close();
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY ONLOAD="document.formName.submit1.click();
setTimeout('thankYou()', 3000);">
<FORM NAME="formName"
METHOD="post"
ACTION="mailto:whomever@wherever.tld"
ENCTYPE="text/plain"
>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="aField" VALUE="Kibology">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit1">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
