UI and UX improvement: display email inline (not just on hover) and make it possible to select/ copy

[jdaviescoates]

I'd rather not have to hover over a senders name to see the full email:

I also want to be able to copy the email here too.

Ideally I'd like to just be able to right-click copy email address (just using the browser right-click context menu) like I can in SnappyMail/ Tachyon:

But even just displaying it inline (like they do on Gmail) would make it possible to select and copy it (which I often find myself wanting to do).

(but the right-click copy is much easier/ better imho)

This is fixed with next version, both added a context menu and also a copy to clipboard in the detail popover.

Good to hear this is addressed in the next version. The context menu approach matches what I'd expect from a browser, and a copy option in the detail popover covers the cases where you don't want to open the menu. Out of curiosity, does the inline display make the address selectable with the mouse, or is copy only through those two new paths? Either way, having a direct copy without hovering is the part that matters most day to day.

So currently we only show the raw email in that place if no display name is set. But in the details the raw address is shown

I'm on Cloudron Mail 1.6.2 (updated 17 hours ago) and I'm not seeing any changes.

I guess it'll be in the next version that is released?

yes it is not yet released, hopefully gets out today.
