In my use-case it is desirable to be able to copy the raw email  
address of a sender, or an address that is written in an email.  
However, in message views (preview pane and own window) the sender is  
rendered by its text name (if present) so the actual address cannot be  
copied without resorting to View Source.

I suggest a user pref and/or global configuration option whereby the  
sender's raw address is displayed onscreen (instead of or in addition  
to the accompanying text name) in the message-view header, to  
facilitate copying.

I further suggest that this or a separate pref/config causes email  
addresses in message bodies to be parsed not into Horde compose links,  
but standard mailto: links, in order likewise to facilitate copying of  
the address (not to mention being potentially advantageous to  
heterogeneous MUA setups where Horde may be used for message display  
but another MUA used for sending).
