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.

No, this topic won't last for 5 years with no solution...we're already beyond 10. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
