I am looking at the latest available iteration of bug 440377 (try build 73.0a1 (2019-12-06) (64-bit).*

Drag and drop experience of contacts from sidebar (etc.) to add them to CC or BCC when these fields are not yet expanded should be improved.
When dragging an address text or a contact onto (+)CC or (+)BCC buttons etc.:

  • please indicate the current landing area with a clearly visible hover effect (probably stronger than the current regular hover effect, more like dotted border or so)
  • please add a tooltip below the drag image explicitly describing what will happen (try dragging files into a folder in Windows Explorer with and without Ctrl to see such tooltip)

Mass-changing bugs around the new recipient area (pills) from product/component MailNews Core/Composition to Thunderbird/Message Compose Window, because composition frontend code is not shared with SM. Mostly cloned from Bug 440377 which started out in MailNews Core long back.
