 * Hi, after latest update you added a paragraph element around the form elements.
   Can please you remove this? A lot of people are styling the elements and this
   breaks our style. We are really happy you deliver such a good plugin for years,
   but please realize these things a lot of users has a problem with it right now.
   This is happened before with this plugin with another issue. Please follow what
   a lot of people want on this forum and remove this. You also want of course happy
   people?
 * Best regards, Tim

 * No, Contact Form 7 does not wrap a form element with a paragraph element. That
   is obviously an invalid HTML.
 * If you see such improper behavior, please share the site URL.

 * Since the latest update there is an _autop_ filter applied which causes double
   line breaks to be turned into paragraphs, just like what happens when switching
   from text mode to visual mode when editing a blog post.
 * Was it actually necessary to apply _autop_? Are you planning to keep this in 
   the plugin in the future? We often build our forms using bootstrap classes, but
   now a lot of paragraphs end up in the forms breaking the layout.
 * We are not really looking forward to setting constant _WPCF7\_AUTOP_ to _false_
   in _wp-config.php_ for all of our clients and future clients. Would you be willing
   to add an option below the form content to disable _autop_?
 * I think many people would appreciate an option to opt out of changes that break
   their form, especially people who do not have technical knowledge.
