# Displaying the sender or recipient email (legacy templates)

## Overview

This article is for pre-2022 templates, built with our legacy HTML syntax: **use it if your tags are in `$tag;` format.** If you use Liquid templates, see [Displaying the sender or recipient email (Liquid templates)](https://help.opensense.com/docs/displaying-sender-or-recipient-email-new-liquid-templates).

Fill in the sender's and recipient's email addresses in the signature automatically, with `$sgsender;` and `$sgrecipient;`.

## Common uses

- Disclaimers
- The email field in signature templates

## Adding the sender or recipient email

Replace the email field or email value with `$sgsender;` or `$sgrecipient;` in the HTML.

:::caution[Only in the HTML]
**Don't** add `$sgsender;` or `$sgrecipient;` as a field under **Settings & Fields** on the signature template. **It only needs to be added to the HTML.**
