It will work, but some users (such as myself) would find it annoying if
it opened up Mail.app. Also, what happens if a user uses a webmail
system (like Gmail or Hotmail)?
Here's what I would do:
If you have hosting that supports PHP or CGI or something like that,
write a little script application to process form data and then send it
via sendmail or whatever. Then in your app, use either an HTTPSocket
or a shell with "curl" to send the data to the script, which will
process it and then send the email to you.
That's much less obtrusive, almost entirely behind-the-scenes, and adds
a "cool" factor to your program.

I have added a menu item under "Help" called "Contact" and in the
Menu Handler I use ShowURL "mailto: ... ". It works but is it wise?
This will be for OS X and because of the way the OS handles default
applications there would seem to be no way that a user does not have a
default email program. Any suggestions or comments will be greatly
appreciated.
