Description

[ebaynegs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100317 Thunderbird/3.0.4

at present you cannot drag an email from a folder onto the body pane of the message compose window. it would be handy if this was possible as its a much larger target and less hassle to drag it there than right up to the attachment pane or the "subject" or "to" fields.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click "Write" button to open a new email
2. try to drag an email from a folder on the the body pane of the compose window
3. doesnt allow you to drop the email onto the body pane, when you do, nothing happens.
4. it only works if you drop it on the subject field, to field, or attachment window, it would be good if this also worked when dropped on the message body pane.

Actual Results:  
message does not attach if you drop it onto the body pane  of the compose window

Expected Results:  
message should attach if you drop it on to the body pane of the compose window
