Its great that I can save emails as .eml files but it'd be even better if I
could use drag and drop to copy a bunch of emails into an explorer folder.  In
particular this would be a natural way to get the .eml file back into
thunderbird which doesn't seem to be possible otherwise.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save email as blah.eml
2.Delete email
3.Drag blah.eml onto folder

Actual Results:  
You get the No Drop icon and nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The email contained in blah.eml gets appended to the chosen folder

Turns out that I'm not so hot at spotting existing bugs, this duplicates a bunch
of bugs as identified by zug_treno.

Thanks,
