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
Ryan, Alex, Henry - FYI wrt 114.
10+ duplicates atm, and 42 users CC'ed.
If we could have a similar UX as in composition (easily selectable
recipient pills), that would support this basic workflow for many users
and avoid clumsy workarounds in 2023 (see user story for more).

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

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.
By the way, the workaround to open the source and copy / paste from there does
not work well when UTF8

Sorry, this is the first bug I'm de-assigning myself from. Not because
it's too hard but because it's not useful. It would be a geek feature
and personally I don't see what it would be good for.
I'd like to mark this one "wontfix", but last time I did, hell broke
loose.

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

I'm too for only changing to copy the whole email with name and

I think "Copy Message Headers" would better fit to other account types
like newsgroups.

Having a menu command for copying the entire header as a block is
certainly a big step forward, but in the long run I'd actually expect to
be able to select any amount of header text in-place, right there in the
actual headers (like for subject now).

Maybe better: "Copy Email Headers"?

Unbitrotted patch.
I found this bug looking for "patchlove". I refreshed the patch.
This is the result:
from: =?UTF-8?Q?J=c3=b6rg_Knobloch?=
subject: some subject
to: some...@somewhere.com
Pretty ugly:
- The headers need to be RFC 2047 decoded.
- lowercase in the

There are actually two extensions that provide this functionality in
different ways:
AddressContext
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/addresscontext/
RecipientBox

Unfortunately, they are both so outdated that
I guess we might want to keep Thunderbird bug 327621 which requests the

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. Unfortunately bmo doesn't have many
ways yet of expressing such relations. Let's keep a link then, in see
also.

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
