 * Why do I get and how do I correct unmotivated emails from the form like the one
   below, where the sender “WINDUE” has only sent one email? Still, I keep getting
   more from him even though he hasn’t sent more than once.
 * Why does this happen and how to fix it?

 * Hi [@hansvjensen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hansvjensen/)
 * We’ve recently become aware of an issue with duplicate entries with certain browsers
   when the form is submitted and the browser page is left open on that page until
   it becomes inactive.
 * When the page is revisited, an automatic POST request is triggered causing a 
   duplicate entry to be submitted. 
 * Our dev team is looking into this, but for now you can add this example to your
   site for the form in question:

 * You can put the code in the WPCode plugin, your own plugin, or your theme’s functions.
   php file. I recommend you put it in the WPCode plugin, which has some nice features
   and will allow you to retain the functionality even if you change themes.

 * Let me know if you have any questions about this.
 * Best,
