You need to break that into two pieces because the context processor
can not handle submissions (i.e. your POSTed data).
1. Leave the "def contact(request)" view from your original post as
is. It should be able to handle posted data.
2. In your contact processor just return the initial form i.e. the
part of the "else" like this:
form = ContactForm(initial={'subject': 'Here's a suggestion...'})
return {'form': form}
In the template tag that renders the form, change the action attribute
to post to the contact view from #1 above.
In other words, you are using the context processor to add an empty
form to each request's template context. But the posted form always
goes to a fixed view that knows how to handle the post and do your
redirect.
