I'd like to have the option of either dragging messages in as attachments into a core message or merging messages inline. With Eudora today, this can only be done manually. Much better to be able to do drag and drop and/or multiple message select and right-click for message combining options.

Reproducible: Always

Along these same lines, I'd like to be able to say forward a message, select all, and then paste that into a reply to another message.  So, if I've already replied to an issue, I can reply to the sender's e-mail with my original reply.  Compose window seems to lack the ability to copy & paste replys or forwarded messages from other compose windows into the current compose window.

Penelope didn't see any activity in the vcs for the last 8 years, closing.
