The URI schema 'mailto:' is not supported when submitting form results. It is needed on the <xf:submission>element, action attribute. When I attempt to use it I receive an error. See the example at the end of this bug log.
See the XForms recommendation, section 11.9 Submission Options:
"Other bindings, in particular to the URI scheme "mailto:" may, and the schemes "https:" and "file:" should, be supported."
Example:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the attached .xhtml file and open it in Firefox
2. You can enter a value in the edit box, if you wish
3. Press the submit button
Actual Results:
The display changes to indicate that submit failed.
Expected Results:
I expected the results to be sent as an e-mail.
Note that if you use the older html form/submit elements, Firefox creates the e-mail just fine.
Forms support is not yet built into Firefox.
Gary, are you doing this with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/824 installed?
Summary: The URI schema 'mailto:' is not supported when submitting form results. → The URI schema 'mailto:' is not supported when submitting XForm results.
Yeah, I think Gary mis-filed the bug. Trying to move it over to xforms.

We have mailto support for submission but looks like it broke between FF2 and FF3. I will try to get to fixing this next week.
Assignee: nobody → aaronr
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Looks like I ported this part poorly when I made the libxul patch for FF3. The mailtoUrl and body need to be put together and passed into ios->NewUri. But ios->EscapeURL doesn't append like NS_EscapeURL used to, it overwrites. So now need to append by hand.
