JavaScript - Mailto Link

I have a question and I'm hoping someone may have some suggestions on how to solve.

I found a script on this forum that does almost what I want from this thread:
http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=184011 (thank you Philip M!)

Instead of a dropdown, I'd like to have a list of names using check boxes, so that you have the option to send an email to one or all of the people. When you choose your selections and click submit, an outlook email will pop up with your selections in the to: field.

Is this possible?

Here's the solutuin using a drop down, this works (and works well), but doesn't quite do what I need :

<form name="Contact_Us" id="contact" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit = "getEml()">
<fieldset id="selection">
Who would you would like to email:
<select name = "sel">
<option value="email1@email.com" >email 1</option>
<option value="email2@email.com" >email 2</option>
<option value="email3@email.com" >email 3</option>
</select>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit the form">
</form>

<script type = "text/javascript">
function getEml() {
var emailaddress = document.Contact_Us.sel.value;
window.location = "mailto:" + emailaddress;
}

</script>

Is there a way to use checkboxes but to do the same thing?

<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name1@email.com">name 1<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name2@email.com">name 2<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="name3@email.com">name 3<BR>

Attached is the code. It does open the email but does not send any information.
Can someone please assist.

Code:

<!-- Table 2 for the Content -->
<form name="orders" onsubmit="return confirmSubmit()" onreset="return window.confirm('Are you sure you want to reset your Orders.'); " action="mailto:lynette@sayorkies.co.za" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

Code:

// Function to Confirm certain conditions and confirm to proceed with order
function confirmSubmit() {
	var itemsOrdered = true;
	if (document.forms[2].totalExcl.value == 0 || document.forms[2].delivery.value == 0) {
	itemsOrdered = false;
	}
	if(itemsOrdered != true) {
	window.alert("You have not chosen any products to purchase or No Delivery Option selected.");
	return false;
	}
	var submitOrder = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to place the order?");
	if(submitOrder == true)
	return true;
	return false;
	}

// Function to calculate order value 
function calculateValue(orders) {
	var orderValue = 0;
 
	// Run through all the product fields
	for(var i = 0; i < orders.elements.length; ++i) {
 
	// Get the current field
	var formField = orders.elements[i];
 
	// Get the fields name
	var formName = formField.name;
	
	// Is it a "product" field?
        if (formName.substring(0,4) == "prod") {
 
	// Items price extracted from name
	var itemPrice = parseFloat(formName.substring(formName.lastIndexOf("_") + 1));
 
	// Get the Quantity
	var itemQuantity = parseInt(formField.value);
 
	// Update the OrderValue
	if(itemQuantity >= 0) {
	orderValue += itemQuantity * itemPrice;
	}
	}
    }
	
	// Display the totals
    orders.totalExcl.value = "R " + orderValue.toLocaleString();
    
    // function to calculate VAT at 15% as required and total inclusive.
	function calcTotals(oValue) {
	var vat = oValue * .15;
	var totalIncluding = oValue + vat;
	var tDelivery = Number( orders.delivery.value.substring(2) );
	var theTotalOrder = totalIncluding + tDelivery;
	orders.vat.value = "R " + vat.toLocaleString();
	orders.totalIncl.value = "R " + totalIncluding.toLocaleString();
	orders.totalOrder.value = "R " + theTotalOrder.toLocaleString();
	}
	return calcTotals(orderValue);
}

I have created this form. I would like to use javascript to mail the form to the selected email from the selection list when the submit button is pressed.
