Comment 1 for bug 429854

This is a Thunderbird equivalent of bug 177740. Or very similar, anyway.

I'd like to be able to copy select messages in the main message window, and have the header info, or some sort of summary list for each, added to the clipboard as a unicode text flavour. This is handy for people trying to generate summaries of their mail received.

There's at least a couple of possibilities here...

In Apple's Mail client, the basic header info for each message is copied. One header entry per line (Subject, From, To, etc.). So the copy for each message spans multiple lines.

In Eudora, I believe, it copies a one-line summary that matches the current header pane view. So the info copied is entirely dependent on what your view prefs are.

Both have their benefits. I'm currently leaning towards the former.
