It works. Perfectly!

An essential, lean little helper that goes on every website build that I do. My favorite part: The option to automatically convert pasted mail addresses into mailto-links. Thank you, Ralf!<3

Excellent plugin!

Excellent plugin and works right out of the box. Also with divi contact module, when e-mail field is added to the form. Thank you and all the best! Steve
