I, and friends of mine, have a somewhat bad habit of sending shorter messages as
an e-mail with the message in the subject line and nothing in the body. Examples
include interesting URLs.

It would be very useful if the subject of a recevied e-mail could be selected
and then copied for further pasting.

It would also be very nifty if any URLs in the subject row would be "clickable".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a received e-mail
2. Bring the mouse cursor over the subject text
3. Click and move the cursor to try to select the text.

Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  Marked all or part of the subject text as selected and
enabled a context menu that included an alternative for copying the selected
text to the clipboard. Furthermore, a keyboard shortcut like CTRL-C would be
enabled to allow copying to the clipboard.
