You have a form inside a form. I removed the second form and it worked fine

<br><br><FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:a*****@***.com" ENCTYPE="text/plain">
Name:
<br><TEXTAREA NAME="COMMENTS" ROWS=1 COLS=20>
</TEXTAREA>
<br>
Address:
<br><TEXTAREA NAME="COMMENTS" ROWS=5 COLS=20>
</TEXTAREA>
<br>
Upload image here.. For Best Results use an image as close to 1500x1500px as possible:
<br> <FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="mailto:*****@***.com" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="upload">
</FORM> <br>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear">
<br>
</form>

You guessed correctly. Using the MAILTO function in this type of form is not the best method and is very unreliable anyway. Many people don't have mail clients or browsers that support it. Perhaps you should be looking as some server side script that can handle the task

Check out this page for a good bit of quality information on using mailto.

I also tried this line in a simple mailto form -
