Unfortunately, I chose to use GET at the "PREVIEW" stage of the process so that users can use the browser BACK button to make changes. Now I get to decide whether size of the message in the textarea matters enough to rewrite the "PREVIEW" part of the process. It would be fairly simple to POST to a temporary table and then retrieve the posted data if the user wants to edit the text. The portion of the site I'm building is adapted from the "postcard" feature at http://jomari.com/dad and http://jomari.com/rail.
