88799 - [RFE] easier way to select a recipient

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87051

(MailNews Core :: Composition, enhancement)

Description

[Jo Hermans]

- take any message from your mailbox
- click on the reply-button in the toolbar (or reply-all)
- pretend you're going to remove one of the recipients
- you can only do that by drag-selecting the email-adress and pressing
backspace, or by using select-all + backspace, or by placing the cursor at the
end, and keep pressing backspace.

In Netscape 4.7, you can select the icon (between the 'To/CC' popup and the
email-address), and the email-address is automatyically selected. That's a lot
easier to delete (or copy) addresses from large lists, when you've selected
reply-to-all for instance.

I agree.  However, I also think that recipients should not be line-for-line.  I
think it ought to be grouped by type... all To: will be iconized on a line, or
wrapped to multiple.  All CC: will be on the next line, etc.

What say you guys?
