Great, that did it, thanks!

ok, the problem is that cf7 does not send to gmail addresses. I tried just now. I have read about this issue but refused to read on because I thought this was impossible. Now, in the meantime, I continue searching.

thanks for your answer, because the normal black style is really boring.

ok, close topic please ??

work in progress but looks good: have delimited the error to a few theme files by removing them.

yet, i have no clue what could have caused this sudden collapse.

could you give me an idea what i could check?

thank you for your reply, i’ll report back once i have tried
