Reproduce:

1. Open a standalone msg window.

2. Left-click on the blue email address after "From:"



Actual result:

Nothing



Expected result:

Behaviour like in the msg pane, i.e. a context menu pops up, which asks, if I

want to send a new mail or add to the address book.

Yes I do have an idea as to why it doesn't work in the standalone message pane. 
I'm using a popup which gets attached to each email address node in the dom. 

Unforunately, popups cannot be declared in overlays, they must be declared in 
the xul that includes the overlay. 

In this case, messenger.xul contains the popup (just like it contains the popup 
for the thread pane context menu).

  <popup id="emailAddressPopup"  oncreate="return 
fillEmailAddressMenu(document.popupNode);" popupanchor="bottomleft">
      <menuitem value="&AddToAddressBook.label;"
                oncommand="AddNodeToAddressBook(document.popupNode)"/>
      <menuitem value="&SendMailTo.label;"
                oncommand="SendMailToNode(document.popupNode)"/>
  </popup>
inside of a popupset. 

The same probably needs to be done for the standalone message window.

mscott, does this mean, the context menu for the msg (bug #10881) has to be
implemented twice as well?

I wonder if the popup itself can be in an overlay of its own.  If not then I 
imagine we have to implement everything twice. thanks mscott for the pointer.

OK using:
2000-05-01-11m16 commercial build linux rh6.0 
2000-05-02-08m16 commercial build NT 4.0
Cannot for the life of me get an address header envelope to open big enough to
display a single address header with Mac.
