It would be nice if there was some sort of wildcard system in the
Payee Rules Manager. One thing that could help a bit is
Tools-> Options-> Editing-> ConfirmNewPayees will give you the
option to not add a payee to the list that you are using one time
only.

Default Payee field is too small

CHECK CRD PURCHASE 08/14 CHIPOTL

That's what my bank, Wells Fargo, downloads into my Payee
field in money for a burrito at Chipotle. The bank's
online account history gives the store's full name,
location and some additional transaction reference
numbers but it was all cut off at the 32nd character! Why
does the available space in the Payee field on the screen
stretch out so much further than this meager limit?

Also, the payee rules manager needs to be a little more
powerful to accommodate my bank's weird payee
descriptions since the date of each transaction is put in
the payee field along with the payee's name. This makes
each entry completely unique. So, no amount of adding new
payee name variations or excluded search terms will help
me to categorize all transactions with the letters
CHIPOTL in the Payee field as Food: Burritos!

If I could overcome these two problems my online banking
experience would be so much more enjoyable, I might even
buy the newest version of money!
