form submission with wordpress 2.0

hello, i’ve upgraded to wp 2.0 and is using the blix theme. when i created a page with “contact” template i realize it automatically adds the contact form for that page. the form code is in the contact.php file. in the file it attempts to send email. however, it wasn’t work so i did some debugging. i found out that $_POST is always empty when you submit the form. no matter what i try, i can get the values from the form i submitted. is it wp 2.0 issue? coz i have tested the form code as a plain php file, it does fill the $_POST when it submits.

here’s the form
