Re: Forms not validating while using EmailComponent?

I saw that last night before posting, and wrapping the send sequence
in this conditional didn't work: I got funny preg_match errors (also
noted here:
http://ryan.ifupdown.com/2008/08/24/delimiter-must-not-be-alphanumeric-or-backslash-corecakelibsmodelmodelphp-line-2202/
, although his fix didn't work for me):

function add() {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Contact->set('$this->data);
if($this->Contact->validates()) {
// Start sending messages, then flash a success message if
successful. Redirect to site root
}
}
}

I also got an error about a missing 'add' view which is probably
easier to fix. This controller's 'add' method just sends out emails
and flashes a message to the homepage. What do I need to do for the
form to point to this method, but for validation errors to show up on
the form (repopulating fields)? This is not very well-documented, or
if it is, I had difficulty finding an answer.
