Simple text selection for copy / actions in headers

#657

Dear Benny,

While most features of MM are amazing and denote it positively against other alternative mail clients, I still regret that it is not possible by default to quickly select / highlight within the message header all or part of the text (typically for copy / paste) in a given field. Left-click selection seems disabled and that's something you won't expect by default.
The only option offered (if I'm not wrong) is upon right-click when the mouse is over a given recipient to display a list of options (send mail to etc.) which is obviously useful yet not as flexible as a [sub]set selection of recipients from a given mail.

Any chance to have some improvement on this ?

Best regards,

    The plan is to completely replace the headers view and before I do that then it's unlikely I'll improve the existing headers view. But this replacement would allow text selection.

    It has unfortunately been an open issue for a very long time. Duplicate of #258.
