 * Hi [@zohaibakbar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zohaibakbar/),
 * yes is correct, while this function is created to protect email addresses from
   being exposed [https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/](https://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/)
 * those values will be replaced after submit, you can get the value before the 
   pipe with `[_raw_{field name}]`
