- OriginalFrom: List of senders of the original message.

Example:

```
{{(index .From 0).Name}}
```
Get the email address of the first sender
```
{{(index .From 0).Address}}
```
*Date and Time*
The date and time information is always available and can be easily
formated.
- Date: Date and Time information when the compose window is opened.
- OriginalDate: Date and Time when the original message of received.
Available for quoted reply and forward.
The _dateFormat_ function can be used to format the date and time.
Example:

```
{{dateFormat .Date "Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006"}}
```
*Subject*
The subject of the email is available for quoted reply and forward.
Example:
{{.Subject}}
*Original Message*
When using quoted reply or forward, the original message is available.
It can be used using two functions that are available to templates.
Example:
_wrapText_ function can be used to wrap the original text to a number
of characters per line.
```
{{wrapText .OriginalText 72}}
```
_quote_ function prepends each line with "> ".
```
{{quote .OriginalText}}
```
All of the above can be chained together if needed, for example
```
{{wrapText .OriginalText 72 | quote}}
```
