 * Thanks for the plugin. However i had to go with another one because when using
   Mailgun you do not hide the Private API Key in the admin panel which exposes 
   it to theft to anyone who hacks the site and even another administrator. Would
   love it if you fixed this.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for your suggestion. I’ve made a note of this message and we’ll keep it
   on our radar as we plan out our roadmap for the future.
 * Have a good one!
