[TYPO3-english] Redirect does not work (always) for old-school mailforms

[Bert Hiddink [BENDOO e-work solutions]]

Hello Jigal,

Thanks for your reply.

Indeed, the fact that is does not happen always makes it hard to debug 
the problem.

I tried several things:
- Disable caching
- Disable RealURL
- Upgrade from TYPO3 4.5.x to 4.7.x

No effect of one of these on the issue.
Any other ideas?

Thanks and regards,
Bert
