copying the e-mail addresses in mu4e-view mode

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

When I am looking at a message (in mu4e-view mode) and I want to mark &
copy an e-mail address, I have noticed that I can only mark

Name <email@address>

pairs, ie I can't mark a subset of this. Copying these into another
buffer doesn't help, they don't break up into text but remain a single
block. This is a nice feature and I can see how it is be useful, but I
was wondering if I can somehow just mark and copy the e-mail address.

Best,

Tamas

PS.: Of course, viewing the message in raw mode works.

Well, you could copy the address and then remove the
text-properties. But that sounds a bit harder than it should be. I've
added it to the todo-list.

Best wishes,
Dirk.

thanks. I have the same problem.

I found that copying and facemenu-remove-all takes care of this for me.
