when reading an email, which is forwarded to me, i would like to be able to
reply to the original sender, not the person who forwarded the mail. so a right
click on the original senders email address could give the option "reply to this
email"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.no such possibility available, a feature request
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
no such possibility available, no actual results

As far as I know, the original sender address is not saved in the header. Then,
you have no way to answer to him or her directly.

i don't mean the header - for example `the bat` (a popular email client) has
this feature - when you select any email address in the body of a message, a
right click gives you this option (reply to this address). even in plain text
messages, this makes life much easier, you don't have to copy/paste the address.

Updating summary to reflect the actual content of this RFE.

What about a summary like this:
linkify email addresses in plain text message body

I searched bugzilla, and couldn't find anything similar. It would be a nice
feature to have.
And I guess the right component is Mail Window Front End, not Composition.
