copy-to-clipboard option disappeared from right-click menu upon upgrading to version 91.2.0 in Linux Ubuntu.

I get more junk/suspicious emails than I'd prefer here, so I always found this copy-to-clipboard option extremely useful if I wasn't sure if I should look at an email.

It seems this option is no longer available upon version 91.2.0, however I guess one workaround would be to "view as text", rather than html.

I liked that copy-to-clipboard option because it did not entail opening a possibly infectious email that may very well be best never opened.

That being said, I'd like to humbly suggest that the copy-to-clipboard option be put back.

Is there something that I am missing?

Just wondering how your mail is going to infect you and how copy to clipboard is safer. I see this a lot, but try as I might I can not understand how doing anything other than opening the mail is going to be safer. It is not as if it can just launch a script and infect you. My feeling is there are a lot of people doing a lot of things and consuming a lot of their valuable time to prevent auto launching issues that really only occur in Microsoft mail clients and web browsers.

I prefer to err on the side of caution and take the five seconds that RT-click > copy to clipboard > paste to text editor, mainly to see if it was sent by a trustworthy source. Granted, I never shed some of the paranoia from my old days as a Microsoft user left with me. I probably do a lot of stupid things out of unneeded suspiciousness.

Not to go off on a tangent, but I would encourage Microsoft users to either consider not being a Microsoft user or use all reasonable precautions practical. In a perfect world, perhaps we'd be paying a lot less for a gallon of gas, if Microsoft users kept a paranoid frame of mind before opening emails due to all the nonsense that goes on.

To clarify why this should be marked as solved, was the fact that upon upgrading Tbird, the ImportExportTools NG (that gave the convenient copy-to-clipboard feature) became incompatible with the updated Tbird version. The fix was to uninstall and reinstall that ImportExportTools NG add-on.

In all fairness, point well taken as spelled out by https://www.howtogeek.com/135546/htg-explains-why-you-cant-get-infected-just-by-opening-an-email-and-when-you-can/

I would only use the clipboard feature on rare occasion, but see it wasn't really rational. We should still be careful, though, for instance inadvertently exposing a Windows user by forwarding an email - that would be a kin to having a symptom-free case of Covid.

You're absolutely right that these days an email can't launch a script by just touching it.
