I've played with this during a fair amount of time. The only perfect solution would be to format the selected content nicely in the clipboard. As Richard said in comment #68, the text currently placed on the clipboard doesn't lend itself to pasting in a formatted way. I tried omitting headers (CardViewHeading), but then the selected text loses its context. So let's land it as proposed.

It seems that Thunderbird won't allow me to select the address from the "Card Summary Pane" in the Address Book. I must go in the card and copy/paste each field manually.
