I love this plugin.
One thing I would like is that I don't like the sidebar in the admin panel to be overwhelmed.
It would be nice if there is an option to place it within the ContactForm7 items in the side menu.

love this plugin.

The little companion to Contact Forms 7 that keeps a copy of all form submissions in case the generated email gets lost. Now nothing can get lost.
