New Bug – Just Showed Up

Hi,

For the past few weeks a new bug has shown up in Contact Form 7, when trying to update the structure of outgoing Notification, in the “Mail” tab. Essentially, all of a sudden you cannot update contact form, in any way. Every attempt to apply an update ends up leading to a 404 Page Not Found error.

It took me a long, long time and A LOT of testing to narrow this issue down to what exactly was causing the failure. I removed plugins, themes, everything. I was amazed to find that it still occurs, even in a 100% new, clean site with absolutely NOTHING installed except CF7 itself.

Here is the Bug:

In the “Mail” Tab for setting up the New Submission Notification Email.

#1. Structure like this (no HTML) works fine.

Name: [your-name]
Phone: [your-phone]
Email: [your-email]

#2. Structure like this (HTML) works fine.

<p><b>Name:</b> [your-name] <br>
<b>Phone:</b> [your-phone] <br>
<b>Email:</b> [your-email]</p>

#3. Now Add ANY Inline CSS:
<p style="font-size:12px">Message generated by a form on the Your-Site.com website.</p>

As soon as that last line is added in the “Mail” tab –
You can no longer update this form, all efforts fail,
and you are redirected to a 404 Not Found Tab.

Only problem here… I use lines of code like in approximately 300 websites I manage.
So Now…

WE CAN NO LONGER UPDATE ANY CONTACT FORMS ON ANY OF OUR 300 WEBSITES UNLESS WE REMOVE ALL INLINE CSS FROM ANY EMAIL NOTIFICTAION STRUCTURE.

Please respond… please help provide a fix.
I will happily show you the issue via private email if by request.

Thank You!!
