Under Windows 98 running build 2001112003, If I open the bookmark manager and
select multiple bookmarks and drag them to the desktop, the drop is not allowed.
 Individually, they are successfully dropped.

WFIW, also doesn't work in firefox. (no corresponding FF bug that I can see)

This is also happening in Thunderbird.. ( with regard to being able to drop
multiple items anywhere OTHER than Thunderbird ( ie externally )

I am attempting to create an extension that would allow drag message(s) from TB
folder, drop to OS file manager as .eml files ( in windows )..  When dragging
ONE message, all proceeds beautifully.  When dragging multiple messages, the
clipboard contains NO data whatsoever ( that I can see using clipboard spying
tools )

I *think* it has to do with :InvokeDragSession passing :StartInvokingDragSession
a  nsDataObjCollection object when :StartInvokingDragSession is expecting a
IDataObject object in nsDragService.cpp

I could be wrong bout the reason tho.. 

I do know that I cannot get drag and drop multiples externally items to work
anywhere in FF or TB..
