I don't understand why you'd even want a contact form over an email link
Because:
* Some folk don't have email addresses and still want to contact you (it does happen)
* Some folk are using this away from their primary machine and don't have email configured
* The form's are large in-your-face pieces UI and are much more "obvious" than an email address. In multiple usability / split tests I've seen feedback forms get more responses than email addresses. People often completely miss the fact that their is an email address. They're looking for a form.
* A large chunk of people just seem to prefer them - again I've seen this in multiple usability tests.
Personally, I always prefer a plain email link over a contact form - both as a sender and as a recipient.
Me to. But I'm generally not building web sites for me ;-)
