606992 - Add ability to drag feed URL from header pane

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Jens Hatlak (:InvisibleSmiley)]

Currently you can only click the URL of a feed (which appears in the header pane) or use the context menu to copy it. It would be nice if you could also drag and drop it, e.g. to a browser window (new or existing tab), the desktop, the Bookmark Manager or the Bookmark sidebar (just to name some examples).

Cf. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DragDrop/Recommended_Drag_Types (Dragging Links):
- text/x-moz-url is needed to allow dragging to the Personal Toolbar, Bookmark Manager and Bookmarks sidebar
- text/uri-list alone allows dragging to a browser window
- text/plain allows dragging to a text editor (tested SciTE).

Nit: prefer this.parentNode.setDataTransfer rather than relying on our weird XUL event scoping rules.
