 * Hi,
    i read a lot of tricks about with wpcf7_mail_sent or wpcf7_before_send_mail.
 * I’m using the wpcf7_before_send_mail function but i need to change the result[‘
   message’] if my php function inside return an error.
 * I did:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'MyChange');
   
       function MyChange($contact_form) {
       	 $idForm = $contact_form->id;
       	 $posted_data = $contact_form->posted_data;
       	 if ( 1367 == $idForm) {
       		try {
        			myfunction ($posted_data);
       		} catch (Exception $e){
       			$contact_form->skip_mail = true;
         			(********)$contact_form->result['message'] = $e->getMessage();
       		}
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * Obviously e (********) line doesn’t works but… how can i do that?
 * Thanks a lot and sorry for my english! 😉
