Add buttons in address book to copy contact details to the clipboard in Thunderbird

[TB_are_go]

It would be convenient to have individual 'copy to clipboard' buttons next to each email address or phone number of each contact in the Address Book in Thunderbird.

This feature exists in Outlook, for example (see the attached screen shot). And like in Outlook, the icon should turn into a tick (or perhaps 'Copied!' is displayed) to let the user know that the information has been copied to the clipboard.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I had now this situation where I missed this: I needed a phone number from the address book, but I can't copy it with right click. I had to edit the address and could copy it there. This could be much easier with the copy button.

Same here, using my contacts to manage online tools with access rights etc. And I often need to copy emails 🙂
