 * Hi,
 * I’m having a problem when an E-Mail link appears in the right sidebar and is 
   thus (in the html text) after a contact form (CF7) protected by SweetCaptcha.
   An E-Mail on the page before the form is protected correctly; but the subsequent
   one in the sidebar gets “mangled”.
 * Without SweetCaptcha:
    `<a href=";" title="Senden Sie mir eine E-Mail"><span 
   class="wpml-rtl">ue.si<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506671</span>xarp-<span class
   ="wpml-nodis">1400506671</span>ph@ml<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506671</span
   >ehliw<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506671</span>.snah<span class="wpml-nodis"
   >1400506671</span></span></a>`
 * With SweetCaptcha:
    `<a href=";" title="Senden Sie mir eine E-Mail"><span class
   ="wpml-rtl">ue.si<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506292</span>xarp-<span class="
   wpml-nodis">1400506292</span>ph@ml<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506292</span>ehliw
   <span class="wpml-nodis">1400506292</span>.snah<span class="wpml-nodis">1400506292
   </span></span></a>`

 * I’m not certain what’s actually going on here, but it seems reproducible. The
   site in question is in development, [here](http://kunde.timreeves.de/infothek/kontakt/).
   Currently SweetCaptcha is off, my Internet Connection is playing up…
 * BTW you don’t see the error on-page in Firefox, but you do in Chrome.
 * Any insights would be appreciated!

 * Can I see it in action?

 * Yes: I’ve just reinstated WP-Mailto-Links for the encoding, and now the problem
   is visible again on the page linked above. Visible in Chrome, that is. The same
   content is sent to Firefox, but FF seems to handle broken code more gracefully.
   Hope this helps.
 * Cheers, Tim

 * OK I copied the page source. Could you now disable the plugin, so I can see the
   original code again?

 * Done, WP Mailto Links is disabled (and no other mail encoder plugin is active).
   Thanks for support!

 * Tim,
    Now I know what the problem is. It has to do with the javascript generated
   by SweetCaptcha, which contains ‘‘. The filter (regular expression) of WPML does
   not work properly for these cases.
 * Unfortunately, I don’t know a quick fix for it. I will put it on the TODO-list
   though.
