This would allow you to copy/paste an address after clicking on it in  
the mailbox view.  Currently, this is disabled - this thread describes  
how it should be relaxed for certain fields.

There is no way to allow clicking on ANY text in a browser and copy to  
the clipboard without explicitly doing so via the browser.  This is a  
browser safety limitation.  Workarounds (see, e.g., github.com)  
include embedding a flash object in the page to allow a one-click  
copy.  That is not an acceptable solution.
