I frequently reply to forwarded emails and have to manually copy the text in the forwarded From text into my To field. The email body looks like this:

My reply here

> Subject:
> Their title
> From:
> somebody@emailaddress.com
> Date:
> Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:47:23 -0500 (CDT)
> To:
> my@address.com

With Pro, I can manually select/copy the From text "somebody@emailaddress.com" and have QuickText source the clipboard to populate the To field.

However, I'd like to write custom Javascript to parse the email body, find the line with "> From:", parse the next line "> somebody@emailaddress.com" and extract the email address into a custom field. Alternatively, I could just do a line retrieval. This will also free up the text select/copy for another use I'd like to put it to.

I don't see any variables listed which contain the email body, would it be possible to achieve this goal?

Fantastic addon by the way, I'm gathering info to justify going Pro for multiple users and this will clinch our purchase.

I haven't found any easy way for me to getting the body of an email from Thunderbird. But as soon as I find a way I will add it.
