If I am understanding this right then it sounds like you could have that button take the user to another form that had a warning message plus 2 buttons one for cancelling and returning to where they were(other form, same record) and a button that sends the email(checks the checkbox) and then again returns them to the previous form. That would be the simplest way I think if you wanted to avoid JavaScript.
