 When a post is saved as a draft, the main publish box shows a "Preview"
 button. The URL for the preview button is
 `http://site.com/?p=149&preview=true`.

 Next to the post's permalink, however, is a "View" button. The URL for
 this button is `http://site.com/?p=149` and is missing the `&preview=true`
 parameter.

 Also in the toolbar is a "View" button that's identical to the "View"
 button next to the permalink. It also has a URL of
 `http://site.com/?p=149`.

 Since the post is a draft, it seems logical that all of the buttons should
 all be "Preview" or "Preview Post" and should all have the `&preview=true`
 parameter.

 Having the buttons next to the permalink and the toolbar show "View Post"
 is just confusing when the post is a draft. I've caught myself several
 times thinking "oh, did I publish this by accident?" when seeing the "View
 Post" buttons.
