it does say googlemail.com its just that yahoo cuts it off for security reasons
 
LOL - When you do a form Submit - the Browser URI Encodes the Data so it transmits safely. (encodeURI is a javascript equiv) On the Server Side - this posted data is usually run through a function that does the opposite... like decodeURI or uriDecode The %40 is your "AT" sign converted...

I recommend using another technique... You got PHP? If so you can make a nice form, then when they post... on the PHP side - your data will already be "decoded" and you can then use the sendmail feature in PHP to post the email directly to your email address.
