Form Submission Fails If URL Included In Textarea Field

  • I have a very basic ‘Contact Us’ form, just Name, Email, Phone and Message:

    
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>[text* forename placeholder "Forename(s)"]</td>
    <td>[text* surname placeholder "Surname"]</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">[email* email placeholder "Email"]</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">[tel* phone placeholder "Phone"]</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2">[textarea* message placeholder "Message"]</td>
  </tr>
</table>
[acceptance consent]I agree to the <a href="https://website.com/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a> [/acceptance]
[submit "Submit"]

    This form works perfectly except when I enter a URL in the Message field. For example, “Hi, I just noticed that your page at https://website.com/page is broken”

    I receive the front-end error, “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.”

    (1) Am I doing something wrong?
    (2) Does the textarea field not accept URLs?
    (3) Are there any debugging tools for Contact Form 7?

    David.
