I'm not quite sure exactly what you're asking but the macro to generate
the original subject is %OSUBJ.

TB! tends to convert the message time stamps to your local time zone and
uses these times in the templates. As a result of this, if you use the
provided macros for original message time, you'll get the original
message time adjusted to your local time zone. The time is technically
still correct but, I know, you prefer if the senders time zone was used.
Well, if you wish to do this, you need to use a regular expression to
extract the original time and here it is.
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?m-s)Date\:\s*?((.*?[\d]{4})\s*?([\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2}\:[\d]{0,2})\s*?(.*))"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%HEADERS"%SUBPATT="3"%SUBPATT="4"
Create a new quick template, then copy and paste the above macro *as is*
in it. I gave my quick template the handle name 'odate'. This new quick
template will generate the original message time by extracting it from
the RFC headers.
If I wish to do this, I just type 'odate<CTRL><SpaceBar>' at the time
when I wish to insert the date. For example, the otime for this message
to which I'm replying is 11:27:52 -0400. :-)
If you wish to put the original time above in a template, at the point
you wish to insert the time use the macro: %QINCLUDE="odate".

No, you don't have to turn on the regular expressions option.
JR> If not, when is this option used? Many thanks.
You use the regular expressions option when you wish to use a regular
expression as the filter search string. With the option off, simple
search strings are used instead.
