I have received an email from someone in Korea, with a Korean name. He doesn't have a signature. The only place I can get at his name is in the From: header. I can't type Korean, so I can't copy it manually; I can't copy his name from the message source, because it hasn't been MIME decoded; and I can't select the text from the From: header because Thunderbird doesn't support it.
So I am, basically, stuffed. I'm going to have to refer to him to my boss as 'That guy from Korea'.
This is still extant in Thunderbird 2.0.0.23.
