Thanks!
Thanks a lot
I have a problem. If email have a dot in name (example: steve.steve@mail.com), you didn't get an email to this address, although the script reports successful transmission.
I would also recommend using this php mail library instead:

Just a thought, I have a situation where there are more than one contact form on the same page (The page has separate tabbed areas each with a contact form and the form sends specific data dependent on which tabbed area the user is in. The issue I notice with this scenario is that app.js sends back to the div ID #form-messages the success message.
I guess I could send back to a different div ID each time but that doesn't make sense to me. Is there a way of dynamically doing the success message without doing silly things like creating separate app.js files?
Sorry if my questions are newbie but I'm not yet experienced :-)
Thanks!
