Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 96968

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

I have spent some time reading over bugs and this has come up as part of other issues but not clearly as a simple request.  It would be great if i could simply copy the entire address (ie physical postal address with multiple lines) and paste into word (for label making) or the body of an email (or address sharing).  Right now it appears to take at least four cut and paste routines to capture and entire address.  Or perhaps a button  under "Get Map" that copies the entire physical address (with name) to the clipboard?  

Or maybe I am missing something?  I tried to drag and drop etc with no luck. 

I love the mail magmt in Thunderbird - thanks and keep up the good work.
