Same on macbook intel with thunderbird's latest build. It's a must-have for TB 3.0

Beside the Adressbook integration this is the only thing that differs from Mail.app. Would be very nice to see this in a feature release!

It would be a great benefit if this feature could be implemented. Or could this feature be solved with a droplet which launches Thunderbird?

1. It ought to work even if Thunderbird is already running. 2. It ought to work for **Thunderbird's** icon that's in the dock (not a droplet's).

And if you drop text on the icon (for example a URL from Firefox) it should open a compose message window with the "dropped" text in the body.

i just cant believe this .. this bug really is actually SEVEN years old?!!!!!!!!! For everybody that still is affected by this bug - here is a lil workaround: Drop the file on the dock icon while pressing alt+cmd This will open the desired new mail windows with the files attached! YAY AND I VOTE FOR FINALLY FIXING THIS DAMN BUG!!!!!!! ;)

The Option+Command workaround doesn't always work. So I vote for this to be fixed ASAP.
