click on it (that's how context menus work - they disappear on click).
Mouse-down and drag to select the text, X11 puts the text in the
primary selection buffer for middle-click paste goodness.
I didn't mean this can't be done from a technical perspective. But
from a consistent UX perspective with context menus - i.e. the way
right-click (or application) menus work in all OS's that I am aware
of - this is not something you can do. context menus are click only.

was regrettably short-sighted on the cross-platform front, so am very
comfortable with the rejection.
Thanks for a speedy response.

Regardless, this was already implemented last year:

CC/BCC. I flick back to the main window and quickly identify an email
to/from the address I want. But where the address has an associated
name, it is hidden, in a context menu, viewable by clicking on the
button 'name of person'. Great, I can then see it, but I can't select
the text!
Hence I end up having to create a new email to that person just to
extract the address. The additional steps of opening and closing the
new mail window I've found pretty frustrating over the last year, so
this tiny patch helps my work flow a lot.
