Original Redmine bug id: 7470
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/7470
Searchable id: yorba-bug-7470
Original author: Udit Mahajan
Original description:

One of the best features of Evolution mail is that one can simply copy
attachments and paste them into the composer windows.

Geary should automatically detect the clipboard to contain file types and
should add them as attachment when user triggers the paste action.

As a counterpart, while reading mails it would be a great feature to be able
to select attachments (like icon view) using mouse/keyboard and copy paste it
anywhere.

When the file is an image, like a printScreen selection it should attached inline.

Hi all, thanks for your interest in this feature. This is a low priority for the Geary developers, and hence an implementation of it would need to come from the community.

If you are interested developing an implementation, please jump in and lodge a merge request for it over at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary
