Files cannot be dragged, at least from the Desktop or an Explorer window, into the Message Compose Window to attach.  The cursor remains in it's "NO" state, and releasing the mouse does not cause the files to be attached.

I theorize this is because of changes made to Explorer between XP and Vista, and Thunderbird is not recognizing the app providing the files as Explorer or the format of the drag and drop data itself.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a compose window
2. Attempt to drag and drop any file into the compose window to attach.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird does not allow the files to be dropped, although they can still be attached manually through the "Attach File(s)" icon on the toolbar.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should behave identically to XP and previous Windows versions and show the "cursor and paper" icon and open the attachments pane on mouse over, allowing the cursor to be released, attaching the files.

This occurs in Mozilla Thunderbird version 2 alpha 1 build 20060724 running under Windows Vista RC2 build 5744 (unknown if affects previous versions of Vista, likely at least back to RC1).
This was filed for Thunderbird version 2 alpha 1.  

I am running Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 and it works fine in that version.
Whoops forgot about this.  It seems to work now in 2 beta 2.
