Can't E-mail with Acrobat form

I searched the archives, but I may have missed past discussion on this issue:

FACTS:

I have created a form in Acrobat, and I want the results e-mailed to a certain address.
All the computers in my organization are supposed to be set up with Netscape Mail with POP3 protocol.
I tried both the mailto: option and the _javascript_ option from the Acrobat documentation.
I have no trouble getting mailto: to work with our system and html forms.
I would rather not get into cgi right now because of time and security issues.

PROBLEM:

When I try to respond to the form in Netscape, it tries to set up Microsoft Exchange on my computer, rather than using my default e-mail.

As I am transferring to faculty is less than two weeks, (YEAH!!) and I'm not sure how long it'll take them to lure another tech writer to Tahlequah, OK, I really need to set these forms up asap. If you have an answer, please help, and thank you.
