Better integrate BBDM and BBNC for Appeal Information

When you create a donation form in BBNC, you assign an Appeal to it. We usually assign a generic one like MRW0000. When you create a mailing in BBDM, you also assign an appeal. We assign an appeal for that month like MRW0610. When you send the email using the BBDM/BBNC integration and someone donates by clicking on the link in the email, the gifts come through to RE using the appeal on the BBNC form so they don't show up in BBDM. It seems like the BBDM appeal should override the BBNC form appeal. It doesn't make sense to have to create a new donation form for every appeal, nor it it ideal to code all the mailings in BBDM to a generic appeal (although that is what we are doing for now). Also, you can't use the finder number field on donation forms in BBNC that allows folks to self report a finder number code b/c they would never show up back in BBDM b/c the form appeal would override the appeal from any other BBDM mailing (email or mail).
