There are still plans to update the message header recipient list along the lines of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9243994=edit I'm not aware of an open bug for this specifically. Bug 1752532 is introducing new multi-selection widgets that we plan on using for the recipients list (specifically, the "grouped list" widget).

For an impression how much users want to select and copy from inbound message headers, see the ancient parent bug: Bug 61497 - [SM] Can't select text in message headers / copy subject **42 duplicates** were filed against that bug, most of them demanding that *all* of the headers should be selectable for copying, i.e. including *recipients*. However, bug 61497 only fixed half of the problem (selecting subject), the other half was moved to this bug 167010 (originally `SeaMonkey`, then `MailNews Core`, now `Thunderbird`). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085 Title: selecting text in full header mode fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ryan, Alex, Henry - FYI wrt 114. 10+ duplicates atm, and 42 users CC'ed.

Yea, I realized that edit as new works for my purposes after writing the above comment. The show source feature displays things correctly, UTF-8 characters should be encoded during transmission and thus should be encoded in the source but the address input field does not handle that kind of encoding.

While waiting for this to be fixed could we have a button "new email to all recipients", possibly behind the "more" menu/button, since that probably is one main use of the copy feature.

I think this bug has it's merits, you'd just select and copy what data you want. For a xul widget that might be hard, but for an html widget it'd be quite natural. I often find I'd like to copy all the mailboxes listed, a single one is of less value. For 327621, I think the current address only should stay, though we should figure something out for "full mailbox". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085 Title: selecting text in full header mode fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There are actually two extensions that provide this functionality in different ways: AddressContext https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/addresscontext/ RecipientBox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/recipientbox/ Unfortunately, they are both so outdated that AddressContext only works for versions up to TB2 (although a user comments that (s)he was able to get it to function for TB5 with a workaround), and RecipientBox has been disabled by an administrator while only working for up to TB3. In order to be able to use at least one of these great and very useful extensions, I am still using TB3. Will someone please incorporate this functionality into Thunderbird? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085 Title: selecting text in full header mode fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1085/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I guess we might want to keep Thunderbird bug 327621 which requests the same so that it can be more easily found and remembered for the *Thunderbird* Product.

While this bug may not technically depend on Bug 136897, and may differ in other ways, they are related in that they address a similar type of problem in a similar part of the UI.

I suppose there must be a lot of reports on this on getsatisfaction, but I don't have time to research. If you find some, please tag them bug 167010 so that URL of this bug will expose them.

I agree. I have the same problem as David in Comment 32, though I have discovered a workaround that choosing Reply or Forward on the original message then lets me copy the name from the To: field or the body text, respectively. What's even more annoying is when I want to copy a list of 50 e-mail addresses (because they haven't adopted a litserv yet) and paste them as recipients of an e-mail I've composed in another window. The only way around this is to do Reply All, accept that most of the recipients will be CC instead of the somewhat-arbitrarily chosen To: (selected based on who sent the message I Reply All on), and then replace the subject, body, options, From, etc. with the new content. (In reply to comment #20) I think why we don't simply let the user highlight the part they intersted is because the message header part of mozilla mail is combine with few components (label and textbox etc) rather than one (like Evolution does), thus, its hard to implement the function you mentioned. Otherwise, this topic will not last for about 5 years( since bug 61497) and with no solution...

This bug makes Thunderbird extremely frustrating when trying to put together mails to multiple addresses quickly. You can’t copy and paste email addresses from To, From fields, etc, drag and drop them into other emails, and so on-- way too clunky and difficult to manage! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085 Title: selecting text in full header mode fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think this is the thing I hate the most since I switched from Evolution to Thunderbird. Actually, this I why I didn't stay on thunderbird last time I tried it.
