I tried creating a custom class and then tried creating a custom style.  But 
I found the easiest to be the following;


#+AUTHOR: <author>
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\orgauthor}{<author>}

#+EMAIL:  <email>
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\orgemail}{<email>}

#+TITLE: <Title>
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\orgtitle}{<Title>}

#+DATE:  <Date>
#+LATEX_HEADER: \newcommand{\orgdate}{<Date>}

Then in my custom Latex title page;

#+LATEX_HEADER: \input{template}


I use \orgauthor{} etc. for the relevant fields.

Works very well, apart from the duplication of author, email, date etc.

It would be great if org-mode added support for substitution to the #+ 
fields.
