How can I copy the Work properties from a single contact to use as a mailing address?

On several occasions, I've needed to follow an email with a written and mailed paper response.

The address information is in the contact record, but broken into individual fields. Is there a process or plugin to grab this information just as it's displayed on the contact record?

You can post images here to this forum. I for one would prefer to see it here rather than visit some unknown site and risk contagion. ;-)

The add-on: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html allows you to copy such data.

Unfortunately you'd still have to make several visits to extract all the associated data, but the mailing address for instance can be acquired as a single item.

Thanks for the link - doesn't do what I want. (Image post wasn't working for me this morning. see attached now)

I want to copy the fully formatted mailing address, in context, from the Contact Record.

Company Street City, State Zip

Either a button, like Map, a Right-Click context menu {Copy Address}, or a main menu choice {Tools/Copy/Contact Address}

Windows mouse select/copy/paste delivers a single line of text that then has to be reformatted. Not the end of the world, just a PITA, every time.

I suggest you file a bug (really) in bugzilla and post a link here.

I will make the changes on Bug 841598 - (ensemble) A new Thunderbird address book to link them
