What about:

<form method="post" action="emailer.php">

and

if (isset($_POST['send']) ) {
# do some sanitising on $_POST['message'] here
header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/send.php?message=" .
$_POST['message']);
}
exit();

if (isset($_POST['cancel']) ) {
header("location: http://f.q.d.n/path/to/index.php");
}

Add other sanity checks as required.

Do not put statements in the negative form.
