I checked in Evolution 2.21.1 and i can drag attachments successfully.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2007-11-13 11:06:25 UTC 
akhil, if your Needinfo state means "please test this again with 2.21", you may ask so. i guess it's implicit here (and since the reporter is a developer it's clear), but in general, please don't set to NEEDINFO without *asking* for more info. thanks :)
Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2008-03-24 01:16:10 UTC 
Works for me as well. Closing as FIXED.
