I'd like this feature for numerous reasons. For example it would make double opt-in newsletter subscription possible.
It would also be great for letting people write post on my website. The confirmation link would change the post status from draft to Published.
We are planning on adding confirmation/preview functionality. You would fill out a form, submit it and view the results, and then confirm and submit the results.
There would be no draft/published setting change because the form data wouldn't actually get posted into they submit it from the confirmation/preview page to confirm it. The data wouldn't be inserted into the database the first time they submit the form, it would happen when they confirm it.
We haven't discussed email confirmation, but it is a good idea. Although we plan on integrating Gravity Forms with some 3rd party email campaign providers and they typically handle that side of things.

I understand. Many clients don't use email campaign providers like MailChimp and CampaignMonitor. So I've been searching for a non branded plugin for a long time now. From what I've seen and read on that quest many people are searching for a simple newsletter optin plugin.
One things I like about Gravity Forms is that it's not branded. It's just called Forms. Also I like the freedom of building my own email newsletter subscription form. Many situations where I have good reason to ask more than just name and address.
