 * hi – i have a (restricted access) dev site with some forms failing validation
   while others work. They report an email validation error to users for any well-
   formed email. Other contact forms created earlier work fine.
 * the form template is as follows
 *     ```
       <p class="pkg-signup-intro">You are signing up for xxxxxxxxxxx's 10 week, Connected Package remote-delivered, course at $60 per lesson.</p>
   
       <label> Your Name (required)
           [text* your-name] </label>
   
       <label> Your Email (required)
           [email* your-email] </label>
   
       <label> Phone (required)
           [email* your-phone] </label>
   
       <label> Anything we should know? (optional)
           [textarea your-message] </label>
       [recaptcha]
       [submit "Let's Do This"]
       ```
   
 * I’m assuming the validation error is the user’s, not the form’s destination address
   here. But i have also run Validate Contact Form 7 Configuration – and everything
   passes on all forms.
 * I’m totally stumped here!
 * Thanks

   tel tag
