Elmah - Catch an Error, but still log it and send email?

First I found that you can catch it and log it inside a catch, but this doesn't send an email. Then I found out about using the Error Signal class. That worked, however what wasn't apparent from reading, is that it treats the error like normal, so when I signal the error it goes to the custom error page still, I don't want that to happen.

What I want to do is catch that error, log it, send the email, but stay on the page the error happened so I can provide special feedback. I do not want it go to the custom error page.

How can I accomplish this?

EDIT: This is what I have and it redirects me to the custom error page.

    Try
        smtpClient.Send(mailMessage)
    Catch smtpEx As SmtpException
        errorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(smtpEx)
    Catch ex As Exception
        errorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex)          
    End Try

Edit: Posting my web.config sections that involve Elmah (besides the connection string hah) And there is nothing in my Global.asax file involving Elmah.

The below should work (i do the exact same thing you are talking about)

try {
  // do something
} catch (Exception ex) {
  Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex); // logs and sends the error through elmah
  // write a message to the user
}

and if you want a nice framework for displaying the message you can check out smokesignals (disclaimer: it's my work)

Try
'      do something
Catch ex As Exception
    ' logs and sends the error through elmah
    ' write a message to the user
Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex)
End Try

Also smokesignals goes to a 404
