    First Thank you for the plugin – it’s a great tool and the recent best practice guide (for “from email’s” to use the operating site’s domain) appear – appears to have resolved my spinning wheel issue. : )

    The question: I receive messages with urls stuffed into the name text field, tel field etc.

    I’ve tried modifying the field setup to do what I believe should restrict to ‘text only but am receiving’ validation error messages on send tests.

    This is the general format I’ve been trying without success by inserting the text specific tag:

    Original that receives url stuffed messages:
    Name*:</br>[text* your-name 25/60]

    Revised intending to restrict to text only:
    Name*:</br>[text* text-732 your-name 25/60]

    I’m not sure if I am close or way off the mark…?

    Related to this for the text area – i use the [_url] as a footer in each message to track the page source. If i restrict the text area to prevent urls – will the footer code (then as a link on send), also cause a reject?

    Thank you for any guidance able to be offered.
