Hi, I'm not sure if I have understood you correctly, but you want to share a post with somebody, and when you go to /posts/sharethis/22 it wont let you fill in the form first?
Looking at your code, the E-mail will always send first because it appears before the code for the form. If you wanted to use the same action to retrieve the form details and then send the data you would need to use conditional statements (E.g. if the form isn't empty - send the E-mail). I would have one action to retrieve the details from the form and store them, then redirect to the sharethis action which sends out the E-mail from the variables given in the form. Sorry if I have misunderstood what you was trying to acheive.
