e-window: add a smarter CopyEmailAddress action (3.72 KB, patch)

Description Alexander van Loon 2012-11-12 13:27:49 UTC 
Navigate to any website which has e-mail addresses formatted mailto: links, for example http://www.gnome.org/contact/ with Epiphany. Right click the e-mail addresses and choose "Copy Link Address". Then paste the address and note that it's copied as mailto:gnome-press-contact@gnome.org with the "mailto:" prefix of the link still intact. This is reproducible in the most recent stable release, Epiphany 3.6.1.

Should this not be seen as a bug but a feature, I urge the developers to reconsider. This behavior was very annoying if you have to copy a lot of e-mail addresses, every time you need to remove the "mailto:" part. Also, other browsers like Firefox do not include it in the pasted e-mail address.

e-window: add a smarter CopyEmailAddress action

It omits the mailto: in mail links and has a different string in the
context menu, to make this clear.

Improved to consider Bastien's suggestion of using a different text in
the menu.
