Comment 10 for bug 1085

What I want to do, which brought me to this bug, is to copy entire messages,
including the main headers, to a document, to make a record of discussions on a
particular issue. For this I would want to be able to select and copy the
headers and the text in the format in which they appear on the screen.

Copying from the message source (comment 7) is not adequate for several reasons.
One is that I get lots of irrelevant headers which I have to delete. Another is
that the source is in the source encoding which has not been regularised by
Mozilla, e.g. it may be full of =20's or may be raw UTF-8 etc, and the Windows
clipboard does not recognise Content-Type etc headers. Even some sender names
are in a strange format in the source e.g. I have a source sender line in the
form (adjusted to protect privacy):

From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Karlj=FCrgen_Xxxxxxxxx?= <email address hidden>

which is displayed correctly in the header pane as:

Karljürgen Xxxxxxxxx <email address hidden>

but there seems to be no way to copy that u umlaut to the Windows clipboard.

My suggestion would be that when in a message Select All (Edit - Select - All or
ctrl-A) should select also the headers - whichever ones are displayed.
