I dug a bit deeper now. I got it all confused. The second preview works, 
but if the node was already posted and is then edited again the preview 
looses the data:
($op==validate) gets called and does what it is supposed to do. At the 
end of ($op=='view') $node->publish_on has the right content, but it 
does not show in the form. It always shows the value that was posted.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
