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).
