The biggest advantage is that using something like aspEmail (which we use
and love) gives you a TON more control over what gets sent. It is also a LOT
more professional.
You can format, validate, set priority, attach files, send as HTML or
Multipart, and do almost anything you want to a message if you run it
through aspEmail or another component like that. A simple mailto: form won't
allow you to do any of that, and some browsers even warn before submitting
with somthing like "This form is being submitted via email - do you want to
continue?"
Using components gives you more control and is a lot more compatible.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using this form submission
approach as opposed to eg: Cdo, aspEmail - it appears to harness the MS standard
mailto capability?:
<FORM ENCTYPE="text/plain" NAME="test" METHOD='POST'
ACTION='mailto:in**@examle.com?subject=Resume' onSubmit="return
submitForm()">
