Euhm, GET?

A whole lot simpler indeed. I'd prefer buttons though:
<form action="./admin_process.php" method="get">
<input type="submit" name="a" value="resend">
<input type="submit" name="a" value="delete">
</form>

Allthough it's a pity the text on the button and the actual value cannot
differ, but that's either pretty quickly solved server-side.
