(Whiteboard: [UXprio])

The current popup menu that displays actions possible on an address could be improved a lot. We should take a page from our current one-click address book popup and combine the functionality of the two systems and possibly having expansion areas for new functions.
Whiteboard: [UXprio]
A couple ideas/comments: * Clicking on the mail address itself could bring up the composition window * "Edit Contact..." already exists in the AB popup, so no worries about it leaving * Copying the email address in the AB popup is painful (have to highlight the address and right-click copy, Ctrl+C doesn't seem to work( * What to do about the similar popup for newsgroups?
Fwiw, I provided detailed suggestions how to improve this as early as 2008, including most of Jim's comment 1, and according to David Ascher's Bug 470659 Comment 1: > This all good stuff [...and] Patches would be great. For details, see Bug 470659, Bug 470676, and Bug 458635.
