 * Hi Takayuki,
 * We’ve noticed that when there is an invalid email address input into the form,
   the error message displays as “There was an error trying to send your message.
   Please try again later.” instead of “The e-mail address entered is invalid.” 
   message.
 * Are you able to please validate this?
 * Thank you,
    Elektra

 * Thanks, Takayuki, however, there is already a designated error message for invalid
   email – but for some reason it doesn’t display ? and the “There was an error 
   trying to send your message. Please try again later.” displays in its place.
 * I don’t necessarily want to edit this message to say “invalid email address” 
   because there could be a scenario where the original error message would apply.
