Email address in message i got and i display in Thunderbird is stored like "Name Surname <name.surname@somehost.com>". Sender is displayed like "Name Surname". When i click RMB on sender field and choose "copy address email" i got only name.surname@somehost.com. I want it to be copied in full format - "Name Surname <name.surname@somehost.com>" (without quotes of course). Is it possible in Thunderbird?

What is RMB? What are you doing with the address when you copy it?

When I right click on the from address in the message header (display tab or window) I am offered a menu choice of copy email address followed immediately with copy name and email address which would be the fully qualified information you are asking for.
