User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

When dragging a message from one folder to another, clicking the right mouse
button should cancel the drag, but instead it's equivalent to releasing the left
mouse button to complete the drag.  Similar in description to bug 177006 for
Firefox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag message using left mouse button to different folder
2. Right click when message is over folder
3.

Actual Results:  
Message is transferred to new folder.

Expected Results:  
Canceled the drag request.

It seems all the TB drag actions behave this way: dragging a message or a 
folder, or dragging buttons during toolbar customization.
Reproduced with TB 1.0, Win2K, but it wouldn't surprise me if this happens 
everywhere.

Also dragging text during composition, but that's a Core:Editor bug.

Seems like a generic drag-drop behaviour/bug, in the XUL toolkit. Besides this
bug, that would solve bug 177006 and bug 253890 also
