Package: alpine
Version: 2.00+dfsg-6
Severity: important

It seems like I should be able to select a few addresses and 
center-click in the alpine terminal while in the address header.

With rich headers enabled, for example, pasting addresses causes
all kinds of mayhem, like they end up in newsgroups, halfway through
the subject line, etc.

Pasting them into the body and then ^K cutting and ^U uncutting into
the message header is almost as bad.  Even though the text I cut has
them one per line, with comma-space after each one, it jams many of
them together.

The first case should work - copy and paste into a terminal.  If
alpine has to do some kind of verification on address format after
parsing each one, it should hold input from the terminal until it
is done, and then return the cursor to the right place at the end
of the currently selected field, instead of moving down.  This is
extremely confusing and causes accidents.
