I can't get my submit button to send an email, Ive tried several formats

I am using a form id= contact-form with a form loader. I have tried getting my email to submit with form action and html href however nothing has working this is what I am currently trying to get to work. any suggestions?

<form method="post" action="mailto:m_galvin1005@email.campbell.edu" >
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" /> 
</form>

I placed this form method inside of a form id. Not sure if thats where I am getting held up at
