The "old" form wizard should still be compatible. The effect you 
describe is rather strange because the mail is sent during the process 
of displaying a page. The redirect is done by submitting the form to the 
redirect page and sending the mail from that page (unless the redirect 
is an external page, in which case the redirect is included as a hidden 
field).

The difficult part is the "SOMETIMES" :-(
