## Information about a message

|

|
|
In this example, the message was sent to the **Denmark** stream.
|
|
|
|
2. The **Sent by** section displays the username and email address of the
|
|
message sender.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
3. This **Timestamp** section shows the exact date and time at which the message
|
|
was sent.
|
|
|
|
In this example, the message was sent at **December 20, 2016** at
|
|
**8:23:20 A.M. PST (UTC -8)**.
|
|
|
|
4. Clicking the **Send a private message** link allows you to directly send a
|
|
private message to the message sender.
|
|
|
|
In this example, clicking on the link transforms your messaging box to send
|
|
a private message to **King Hamlet**.
|
|
|
|

|
|
all private messages exchanged between the message sender and you by using the
|
|

|
|
search operator `pm-with:hamlet@zulip.com`.
|
|
|

|
|
all messages the message sender sent to streams that you're subscribed to and
|
|
private group chats you're both in using the search operator by `sender`.

|
|
|
In this example, clicking on the link transforms your view to show all
|
|
messages sent by **King Hamlet** sent to public streams you're subscribed to
|
|
