I'm thinking of creating a contact form where the user can either send
their message immediately or preview the message first. So far, I cannot
think of a way to make it happen.

My form mail processing script -- NMS' TFmail -- requires a config file
to be set in the form, normally by a hidden field. I could move that to
the submit "send" button, and have a different config file set in a
submit "preview" button, but there's no way to guarantee that either
button will be pressed.

I could create 2 different scripts, one to send immediately, one to
preview, but there's no way to change the action of form. (Well, I could
use js, but that cannot be relied upon.)

Have I missed something?

<input type="submit" name="function" value="Preview">
<input type="submit" name="function" value="Send Message">

Then test the value on the server (and use a sane fall back if neither
control is successful).

You will probably have to modfiy your script, or submit to a different
script which performs redirection based on the above.
