Contact Form Doesn't Clear After Sending

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Subtext 2.5.2.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fill out the contact form.
2. Send the message.
3. Note that a label pops up saying the message was sent but the form is still 
populated.

In Subtext 2.1.0.5 the form would clear out after successful sending. The 
problem with leaving it populated is that in the case of a very fast postback, 
the message saying "success" is not super obvious and users may click to send 
repeatedly until they notice the tiny additional line explaining it's been sent.

Thanks for the patch, but I had a different idea. If I submit the form, I might 
want to be able to see what I just sent. I just checked in a fix that swaps the 
text boxes with the submitted text and removes the submit button and the 
captcha. I think it provides a better experience.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

Fixed in r4170

You're right, the end user experience is far better that way. I tried it on my 
local machine and it works like a charme!
