Do you have selected any text inside the source window? After opening the window
the menu entries aren't enabled, right. But when you select some text they
should be. 

Which version of TB you are using? Try a current build to verify that the
problem still occurs.

Ok I've got the same problem. 

Basically when viewing the source window for any email.  The context window
doesn't open when right clicking the mouse.  You can highlight with the mouse. 
If you highlight and then select copy from the edit menu. The contents are not
put into the clipboard.  Only way to copy text is to high light and then CTRL-C
go to other program CTRL-V

Currently using Thunderbird 0.5
