Not possible to switch between different lists when testing manually.

The tests show up fine when using the extension, but when I test the same emails on the litmus website they look different and there are bugs I need to work out, so it defeats the purpose of the extension. It seems to have somethings to do with eloqua field merges not rendering properly. So may only affect people using Eloqua

A bit buggy. Having issues with the app not letting me scroll up after I scroll all the way down. I have to either refresh my entire browser session or kill the app and restart for it to work again. The scrolling feature also gets stuck at the top after I run a litmus test. I'll stick to the normal web app for now.
