Is there any chance we might get a choice of either Preview or Post Immediately when we send a message?

That is something I am going to try to work on. It will have to be a config option for either one way or the other, because I will have to move the file attachment portion to match.

Would you consider an alternative for those of us who disallow file attachments? Could *we* have the buttons on each message?

This might be possible. For those that do not allow file attachments, on the first page I could have 2 buttons. One for "submit post" and one for "preview post". For those that do allow file attachments, it would have to be one way or the other, preview or no preview.

After digging abit deeper into my code I realize that this will be a little bit tougher than I originally expected. Preview does quite a bit, like markup conversions, < > conversions, etc. Before I can bypass preview I have to figure out how to do all of this in addpost without duplicating things and causing problems. Because of this, this feature might not get put into the next release, it just depends on how easy this is to work around.

That would be wonderful.

At present I'm using a Javascript hack in previewpost which checks to see if they clicked Post and if so automatically submits the form as soon as it finishes loading.
