Its Awesome!

This plugin saved me a lot of time! Great job. Small correction that i might add regarding the email type fields is that you don't need the "else" case in the file cf7-custom-error-message.php on line 128! It doesn't save the default invalid message this way that makes the error message empty. Once again good job!
