 * I am trying to add a hidden field to a form that will simply add the word “subscribe”
   to the form results that we receive via email. Based on reading previous discussions
   and documentation, i’ve added the following to the form: 
   `[hidden text-hidden"
   subscribe"]`
 * So the form looks like this:
   `Full Name (required) [text* your-name]Email (required)[
   email* your-email]Organization (required) [text* your-org][hidden text-hidden"
   subscribe"][submit "Send"]
 * I then add [text-hidden] to the message body in the “Mail” setting in Contact
   Form 7 so it looks like this:
 * `From: [your-name]
   Email: <[your-email]>Organization: [your-org][text-hidden]
 * However, when the form is submitted, I receive an email but the email does not
   show the word “subscribe”. Other fields are passing properly.
 * What am I doing wrong? Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhidden-field-help%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
