Gibberish filter  (See more user questions)

Hi

I'm not sure what you mean.

With the word block, you can block any word you like. With an email
template, you can have the email from the script only show the fields you
want to be shown. Also there is an option in the script to ignore fields,
they won't show in the email at all.

I don't know what this means:

"Only allow Subject line of the word Quote"

Can you advise?

Cheers.
