Description Miles Lane 2002-05-12 16:01:56 UTC 
A user should be able to DnD a contact from the contacts list or an email
address from a viewed message, and drop that info onto a composition
window.  The e-mail address could get inserted at the pointer location as
text and the vcard could be added as an attachment.

Another suggestion: drag'n'drop contact (sender, ...) (somehow, create
a thumb or something near the sender) onto a vfolder = add a rule to
that vfolder's definition ([Sender contains] ...)
Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2005-08-24 07:07:55 UTC 
As of now, if u drop a contact/list from contacts it just attaches. If u select
a text and DnD it pastes it there in the cursor. I guess it solves the primary bug. 

I dont think it is possible/feasible to do the second part.
