It seems like I should be able to select a few addresses and
center-click in the alpine terminal while in the address header.

With rich headers enabled, for example, pasting addresses causes
all kinds of mayhem, like they end up in newsgroups, halfway through
the subject line, etc.

Pasting them into the body and then ^K cutting and ^U uncutting into
the message header is almost as bad.  Even though the text I cut has
them one per line, with comma-space after each one, it jams many of
them together.

The first case should work - copy and paste into a terminal. If alpine has to do some kind of verification on address format after parsing each one, it should hold input from the terminal until it is done, and then return the cursor to the right place at the end of the currently selected field, instead of moving down. This is extremely confusing and causes accidents.

Hi Mark,

Let me try this... thanks for your bug report.

You wrote, "With rich headers enabled". What does that refer to? I don't see such an option in "Main Setup Config" (M S C).

Also, can you reply with a screenshot to describe the behavior you consider bad? That would make it way easier for me to grok what you mean. I'm finding it hard to figure out what exactly the bad behavior is that you want fixed.
