In
my contact's incoming email list, who will it read that the postcard
is from and what will be the subject heading?
The email will come from the first and last name listed on the account
and the subject of the email will be the title of the postcard.
(i.e. the email will come from: David Jones, with the subject: Success
Doesn't Grow On Trees). Should you want the email to read that it
is from a company rather than an individual, enter the company name
into the first and last name boxes (i.e. First Name: The; Last Name:
Widget Company).
