I basically have a template for an email I'm sending monthly like this:

```
From: Robert <r+finance@gnzler.io>
Subject: Invoice for {{dateFormat .Date "January 2006"}}
To: client@exmaple.com

Hello,

this message has the invoice for {{dateFormat .Date "January 2006"}} attach=
ed.

Best regards,
Robert
```

I am trying to get rid of Thunderbird where templates contain the
message headers... I use them as blueprints for mail that I often send
to specific contacts.
