   Hi there,

   the mails which are sent throughout the built-in contact form are full of HTML tags like br and strong. That doesn't looks really good.

   Is there a fix?

   Thanx Holger

   Hello,

   The contact form is using wp-mail.php outside of the theme and can be found on public_html via ftp.

   Best regards,
   Ismael

   Hi Holger,

   It might be that your server isn't allowing an email to be sent out with html tags in it and is converting it to plain text. Could you try using a plugin like Contact Form 7 or another that will allow you to test whether auto-generated html emals get the same weird formatting issue you are having.

   Thanks,

   Devin

   I'm using Contact Form 7 in another blog. There everything looks fine.

   Thanks Holger

   The only solution I can think of is to strip the html tags. Open up sentence\framework\php\class-form-generator.php and replace:
   

   $message .= $element['label'].": ".nl2br(urldecode($new_post[$key]))."<br/>";
   						if($element['type'] == 'textarea') $message .= "<br/>";

   with:
   

   $message .= $element['label'].": ".nl2br(urldecode($new_post[$key]))."<br/>";
   						if($element['type'] == 'textarea') $message .= "<br/>";
                                                   $message = strip_tags($message);

   and:
   

   $message = nl2br($this->form_paramas['autoresponder'])."<br/><br/><br/><strong>Your Message:</strong><br/><br/>".$message;

   with:
   

   $message = nl2br($this->form_paramas['autoresponder'])."<br/><br/><br/><strong>Your Message:</strong><br/><br/>".$message;
    $message = strip_tags($message);
