Everytime i need to display the source or click 'Reply' to copy e-mail address - it's REALLY annoying! I suggest two more options: >> - display also e-mail address when viewing a message, normal or preview (better make it configurable: name / address / name + address) >> - add additional option to context menu, something like 'Copy e-mail address' which will copy e-mail address into clipboard (something similar to firefox's e-mail address context menu) >> >> I really need to resolve this somehow or i will go crazy :( Michael, do you really never need to copy e-mail address? > > > Honest answer: No. I don't believe I have ever needed this in IMP. > > That doesn't mean I don't see the usefulness of this. But I'm busy with other projects right now, so as always "patch and/or funding" will get this done quicker if this is necessary for you. (Again, this might not be an easy fix - since it can't break behavior for all other context-menu actions). Otherwise, this isn't really on my radar right now.
I can't code so a patch is out of the question sadly. I could contribute a little - how much would be needed? I agree with Azur - just displaying the email along side would be sufficient. Gmail does have a lab that allows copied text to be transferred to the clipboard, that would be even more optimal.
