 * Hello,
 * I am trying this plugin for the first time and have set up both the form and 
   the email. I am however getting a blank, red error box even though I have text
   for every error message. Occasionally I get the “Sender’s message failed to send”
   message. The email is set up with the following:

 * Try this CSS:
 * /* THIS FIELD REQUIRED */
    body span.wpcf7-not-valid-tip { display: inline-block;
   color: #ff0000; border: none; position: relative; top: auto; left: auto; padding:
   0; margin-top: 2px; background: none; font-size: 15px; }
 * /* ERROR BORDER */
    form.wpcf7-form[data-status=’invalid’] .wpcf7-response-output{
   color: #000000; border-style: dashed; border-color: #ff0000; text-align:center;
   font-size:15px; font-weight: bold; } body span.wpcf7-validation-errors { display:
   inline-block; color: #ff0000; border-style: dashed; position: relative; top: 
   auto; left: auto; padding: 0; margin-top: 2px; background: none; font-size: 15px;}

 * Now I get a blank, orange error box first. If I try to click again, I get the“
   Sender’s message failed to send”-message.
