If you mean by safe that the email address is protected in any way, then no. The email address is completely visible in the html code, and very easy for anyone to harvest, either manually or using a program that automatically scans pages for email addresses.

The mailto option is just an instruction for the browser to use the clients mail program to send the form. This of course requires that the client has a mail program installed, and properly configured as default mail handler. Most people does, as this is available as a standard feature in Windows (Outlook Express). If the computer is in public use, e.g. in a library or similar, there is most likely no mail program installed.

The best way of safely putting a contact form on a page is to use server code (ASP/PHP/JSP/ASP.NET) to put the form data in a mail and send it. Every web hotel has some kind of mail component installed that you can use for sending the mail.
