654753 - Copy email including assigned name

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 232021

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Ulf Zibis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110420 Firefox/3.6.17
Build Identifier: 3.1.10

If I right-click on an email address in the header area of an email, I have "Copy E-Mail".
Could we additionally have "Copy E-Mail with assigned Name"?
Result in clipboard then should be: Firstname Name <[e-mail]>
... so it could be copied to an address field while composing a new/answered/forwarded email from another context.
This flaw also occurs, using the standard Reply (All) actions ... only the "naked" email appears in the address field.
Would be nice, if one could configure this, or if there would be an additional action: "Reply with full Name". 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. right-click on an email address in the header area of an email
2. choose "Copy E-Mail"


Actual Results:  
3. Result in clipboard: "[e-mail]"


Expected Results:  
3. Result in clipboard: "Firstname Name <[e-mail]>"

That's an old enhancement request, thus marking as a duplicate.
There has been recent work but somehow it got stalled...
