288482 - want to drag an open message to a folder without first closing it

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, enhancement)

Description

[markku.leinio]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 1.0.2 (20050317)

When a message is opened (in a new window), it would be good to have some kind 
of handle somewhere in the windows with which the message could be dragged 
(moved) to a different folder in the folder tree.

At the moment, the message has to be closed and then dragged from the list, or 
the right-click menu item "Move To" can be used to move the message, but this 
is not very fast way (several submenus to open).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open some mail folder
2. double-click on any message in the folder (to open it in a new window)
3. only way to move the message is to use the "Move To" right-click menu 
command, which is very clumsy



Expected Results:  
Show some little icon (a "handle") somewhere in the message window, and that 
handle could be used to drag the message to a different folder.
