Jepp, I absolutely agree.

I ran into this "bug" so many times and I still believe that the message preview has \
the absolutely wrong context-menu (BTW, even the Message Window doesn't have "copy"). \


My usual behavior in KMail (which I've been using regularly now over a year and know \
at least for 4 years) is marking some text in the preview, right clicking, looking \
through the menu (which has really entries not needed because it are the same as in \
the message list) not finding copy, remembering that copy is not in the menu and now \
either clicking somewhere else to make the menu go away which makes the selection go \
away with it or remembering soon enough that I've just to hit ESC and CTRL-C to copy \
the string I wanted. 

It's a way of thinking about the message list as being "message context", the mail \
preview being "text context" and this is just counterintuitive to have "message \
context" menu entries in a "text context".
