Option to ignore memo information on downloaded transactions

See the attached image. When accepting downloaded transactions there is much information (which I personally consider to hold no value) being inserted into the Memo field of the record. I would like the option to ignore this be added to Preferences > Downloaded transactions. Thanks.

I use a Memorized Payee with a "." in the Memo field. Yes, I do get a "." in all of them, but it isn't the gibberish that comes in from the download. I've tried a space, but that doesn't work.

As an alternative to "." in the Memo text ... There's a relatively new setting you can try for each credit card account:But you will still need a Renaming Rule to rename the downloaded "xxxx KROGER xxxxxxx" stuff to just "Kroger".2

Stated a different way, if you put in a transaction with the memo field filled in, when Quicken matches the downloaded transaction to that existing transaction, Quicken will not override the user entered memo. But in all other cases it will use the downloaded memo, unless the person uses the new option that @UKR has pointed out above.Signature:
