There was this thread already, but it is closed with no real resolution:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/plugin-contact-form-7-quotes-added-to-drop-down-item?replies=4

I have the same problem. Here is my backend select:
```
[select* Paikkakuntavalinta first_as_label
"Valitse paikkakunta, jota asia koskee"
"Kempele|Kempele <[email protected]>"
"Kalajoki|Kalajoki <[email protected]>"
"Raahe|Raahe <[email protected]>"
"Oulainen|Oulainen <[email protected]>"
"Oulu|Oulu <[email protected]>"
"Ylivieska|Ylivieska <[email protected]>"]
```
Which outputs this to frontend:
```
Kempele
Kalajoki
"Raahe
Oulainen
Oulu
Ylivieska
```
There is the extra quote mark right before Raahe.

It seems this is a conflict between the pipe and e-mail address, and it only shows on that one item both on frontend and in e-mail.

Any ideas?

EDIT: the email address in question begins with letter p. So there is <p at the beginning of the address. Could there be a mix-up with html tags, as that on looks like <p>, and the former thread I linked at the top of this post probably had <br in the beginning of the email address.

If I remove the letter p from the beginning of the address, the output is ok. But obviously this is not a solution.

Yep. I tested this with another selection and with other email that also began with letter p. Same result with extra quote mark in output. Also, the email will not be sent to that address due to this problem. Message is “Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.” Any other selection sends the email correctly to address on that selection.

I need to publish the site tomorrow, so any help is appreciated.

Avoid using < and > in option values. You can change the tag to
```
[select* Paikkakuntavalinta first_as_label
"Valitse paikkakunta, jota asia koskee"
"Kempele|[email protected]"
"Kalajoki|[email protected]"
"Raahe|[email protected]"
"Oulainen|[email protected]"
"Oulu|[email protected]"
"Ylivieska|[email protected]"]
```
Then use [_raw_Paikkakuntavalinta] <[Paikkakuntavalinta]> in the From field in mail.

Thank you, it works!
As an intermediate solution I had a space between < and p, which also worked. But this is way better solution.
