The form action should be:
mailto:yourEMailAdress@anyDomain.anyTopLevelDomain

Notice the mailto: before the address.

Later

The </option> tag isn't required- I don't know if it is the cause or not.

Also, the radio button just before that:

<input type=radio name="MessageType" value="Praise

It isn't closed, it needs "> at the end.
(It may have just gotten cipped when you posted the code though).

Try one or both of those and see if they fix the problem. If not, post again and we'll try to figure it out.
