162646 - ability to reply to attached messages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 204350

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Craig Ringer]

I've noticed that while mozilla allows the user to click on the From: email
address etc in the headersof a recieved message and compose a message to that
address, add to addr book etc, it doesn't allow the same for any attached messages.

So - it'd be nice if mozilla would have the same capabilities for the headers of
any attached messages as it does for the main headers (for properly attached
messages only, obviously).

The option of replying to / forwarding an attached message would be wonderful.
Think postmaster and other similar tasks.

If you want a demo of how this works, see mutt. It doesn't do much with the
headers but it is _extremely_ good at handling attached messages, replying to
them, etc. 

It'd also be nice to be able to open an attached message from where it appears
in the attachments, and have it open in a mail viewer window not a basic text
viewer window. Again, only for messages properly attached with correct MIME
types etc.

The file you get at the tagged URL is an example message - thats the sort of
message that it'd be nice to see better handling of. Currently it prints the
headers in a grey box but doesn't make the addresses clickable or anything.

Thoughts?

or in general any e-mail address in message body

Isn't this a duplicate of Bug 217382 ?
