When forwarding a number of emails to the thunderbird client as attachments,
they must be either viewed inline or each attachment must be opened seperately.
Instead, the user should be able to select all the attachments and drag/drop
them into the inbox or another folder, for processing as normal emails. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select 2 or more emails in the inbox
2. Forward to self as attachments
3. Receive mail
4. Select attachment 
5. Drag/drop attachment into inbox 

Actual Results:  
Cannot drag attachment into inbox. Cursor turns to slashed circle. 

Expected Results:  
Expect software to put the attachment into the inbox so that it can be processed
as a normal email.

This is the functionality that Outlook (in all its iterations) has, and the same
behavior from Thunderbird would warrant the term 'Outlook-Killer' be applied. It
is the only thing holding me (and others, I suspect) from using it exclusively
and ditching outlook altogether.
