Replace brackets with carats (I used them so as not to confuse some email 
clients).

[!-- use this method to send the form to a mailto --]
[FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; 
ENCTYPE="text/plain"]

A couple of other points. Standard computing practices dictate that first 
and last name fields each be 20 characters in length. If you want a middle 
name then add another 20 characters. So a 30 character name field is to short.

The email address field should be at least 64 characters in length. DNS 
allows labels to be 63 characters with a maximum length of 255 characters. 
If you add 20 characters each for first and last names (plus the period and 
the at sign) you can end up with quite a long email address.

The USPS uses 28 characters for city length.
