I'm trying to implement a Getting Things Done system at home similar to how I'm setup at work with Outlook. Thunderbird + Lightning seemed like a good place to start, but I'm already a bit put off by what would seem to be a pretty basic use case. I'm sure I can adapt my process, but just thought I would drop a feature request here for the record.

Oh, in case the summary is not self-explanatory, I'd like to have the ability to drag and drop an email item onto the task list and have it open the New Task dialog automatically filled with relevant info from the email (specifically subject -> title and body -> description).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Thunderbird with Lightning extension.
2. Open Thunderbird and drag/drop an email to Todo list.

Actual Results:  
No action.

Expected Results:  
New task dialog and opened and pre-filled with basic data from email message (subject -> title and body -> description).
