A Perl form processor would really be much better suited for this... But if you want something very quick and dirty, you don't even need JavaScript...
<form method="post" action="mailto:YOUR@EMAIL.COM">
<input type="text" name="field1" />
<input type="text" name="field2" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Good luck!

Not sure why it's not working for you, but as I mentioned what you really should be looking for is a perl form processor script... Perl is a server side language, and you want the server to do things like decode the query string -- in other words, make the email into a readable format for you.
There are several available -- do a google search for "formmail", for example... If you are not comfortable setting up a script, there are also remotely hosted form processors -- a google search for "remotely hosted form processors" should give you a good starting point. The first one I found doing such a search was: http://www.formbuddy.com/
Good luck!
