aerc-templates(7)
# NAME
aerc-templates - template file specification for *aerc*(1)
# SYNOPSIS
aerc uses the go "text/template" package for the template parsing.
Refer to the go text/template documentation for the general syntax.
Template files are composed of headers, followed by a newline, followed by the
body text.
Example:
```
X-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett
Hello,
Greetings,
Chuck
```
If you have a template that doesn't add any header, it *must* be preceded by a
newline, to avoid parsing parts of the body as header text.
# MESSAGE DATA
The following data can be used in templates. Though they are not all
available always.
*Addresses*
An array of mail.Address. That can be used to add sender or recipient
names to the template.
- From: List of senders.
- To: List of To recipients. Not always Available.
- Cc: List of Cc recipients. Not always Available.
- Bcc: List of Cc recipients. Not always Available.
- OriginalFrom: List of senders of the original message.
Available for quoted reply and forward.
Example:
Get the name of the first sender.
```
{{(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.
To format the date fields, _dateFormat_ and _toLocal_ are provided.
Refer to the _TEMPLATE FUNCTIONS_ section for details.
*Subject*

{{.Subject}}
*MIME Type*
MIME Type is available for quoted reply.
- OriginalMIMEType: MIME type info of quoted mail part. Usually
"text/plain" or "text/html".
*Original Message*
When using quoted reply or forward, the original message is available in a
field called ".OriginalText".
```
{{.OriginalText}}
```
# TEMPLATE FUNCTIONS
Besides the standard functions described in go's text/template documentation,
aerc provides the following additional functions:
*wrap*
Wrap the original text to the specified number of characters per line.
```
{{wrap 72 .OriginalText}}
```
*quote*
Prepends each line with "> ".
```
{{quote .OriginalText}}

```

```

```
{{toLocal .Date}}
```
*dateFormat*
Format date and time according to the format passed as the second argument.
The format must be specified according to go's time package format.
```

```
