Using Joomla 1.5.8, the Core SEF turned on and SEFAdvance turned OFF ( using mod-rewrite with Apache 2.2 ) the standard contact email sending functionality works. CASE 1
With the same configuration and SEFAdvance turned ON the standard contact email sending functionality doesn't work. CASE 2
Having viewed the source HTML ( saved and doing a text comparison ) the key difference appears to be that the SEFAdvance changes the action= path applied to the contact sending form.
i.e. for Case 1 :
in a page called contact-us.html I get
<form action="/contact-us.html" class="form-validate" method="post" name="emailForm" id="emailForm">
i.e. for Case 2 :
in a page called contact.html I get
<form action="/index.php" class="form-validate" method="post" name="emailForm" id="emailForm">
This is a real pity - and a bug that needs to be fixed... otherwise it's a great product...that works and rids us of the numbers in URLs we don't want .

Hi,
You're right, the bug was introduced in latest version. It's fixed, please upgrade to v1.8.1.
