BoltMail
Why do my custom fields not show up when I send a test email or autoresponder?
Your test emails will only display the place holders for your custom fields as there is no contact list or contact linked to the test email for the application to draw the information from.

If you wish to see what your email will look like with your custom fields filled in you can add yourself to the contact list that you are sending to and then send yourself an email from there. This will display your own information in place of the place holders.
