 * Hi there,
 * I’ve got a problem with contact form 7. I configured like always but now I’ve
   got syntax error in one field – in “Additional headers” I take: “Reply-To: [your-
   name] <[your-email]>” and then I’ve got syntax error
 * Any idea?
 * Best regards

 * Try making the email form-tag required(*) in the FORM. e.g.
 *     ```
       [email* your-email]
       ```

 * **It seems like a bug in Contact-Form-7**
 * This one is OK:
    `[email* your-email placeholder "Your email address"]`
 * This one returns syntax error (the form works however):
    `[email* your-email 
   placeholder "[:de]Ihre E-Mail-Adresse[:en]Your email address[:sk]Vaša emailová
   adresa[:]"]`
 * The [:xx] texts are qTranslate-X translations.
