User Story
Thunderbird provides no straightforward UI for the basic task of copying a random selection of recipients from a received message (displayed in message reader) for use in another message, but not in reply to the original message. Workarounds are somewhat clumsy (and perhaps not easy to discover): - "Reply All" (Ctrl+Shift+A), then select and copy desired recipients, close reply window, start new message, paste into recipients area - "Edit as New Message" (Ctrl+E), then remove msg body and attachments, and undesired recipients

Ryan, Alex, Henry - FYI wrt 114.
10+ duplicates atm, and 42 users CC'ed.
If we could have a similar UX as in composition (easily selectable recipient pills), that would support this basic workflow for many users and avoid clumsy workarounds in 2023 (see user story for more).

For an impression how much users want to select and copy from inbound message headers, see the ancient parent bug:
Bug 61497 - [SM] Can't select text in message headers / copy subject
42 duplicates were filed against that bug, most of them demanding that all of the headers should be selectable for copying, i.e. including recipients. However, bug 61497 only fixed half of the problem (selecting subject), the other half was moved to this bug 167010 (originally SeaMonkey
, then MailNews Core
, now Thunderbird
).

There are still plans to update the message header recipient list along the lines of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=9243994&action=edit I'm not aware of an open bug for this specifically.
Bug 1752532 is introducing new multi-selection widgets that we plan on using for the recipients list (specifically, the "grouped list" widget). I'll block on this for the time being.
