Form not working with Mailto correctly

Question

I have a form as part of a website and I just want it to use the mailto attribute to send all of the information to a selected email address however when I press the submit button at the moment, my email client opens with the correct email to send to but no subject or body. Any ideas what I've got to add or done wrong?

<form action="mailto:example@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Name">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="company" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Company</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="company" placeholder="Company">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="email" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="Email">
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="message" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Message</label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
            <textarea class="form-control" rows="3" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

Thanks everyone!

You forgot to set the name attribute! The subject you can set as a parameter (subject) on the email address. Try the following code:

<form action="mailto:example@example.com?subject=Test" method="post" enctype="text/plain" class="form-horizontal">
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="company" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Company</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="company" id="company" placeholder="Company">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="email" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <label for="message" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Message</label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
      <textarea class="form-control" rows="3" name="message" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
    <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
      <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>
