Cannot drag-and-drop entire thread

This bug has been opened here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14929 "There's no way (at least it's not obvious) to drag an entire thread of emails from the message pane to a folder in the folder list when operating in threaded view. It seems that each message must be drag-and-dropped manually. ... > Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? The dnd acts on the selected messages here. What happen if you try to dnd a selection? ... http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=3642 Screenshot of Thread icon in Thunderbird Yes, I can select all messages in a thread and dnd them to a folder, but the functionality that's (apparently) missing is being able to grab a *collapsed* thread and with one dnd move the entire thread to a folder. I've attached a screenshot showing this functionality in Mozilla Thunderbird. You can see that it offers a "balloon" icon for threads (circled in red). You simply dnd the balloon icon, and the entire thread is dropped. I can't seem to achieve this behavior in Evolution."
Hmm, for some reason I believe I answered a report just like this the other day already. :) Anyway, this is a duplicate of bug 262328. Selecting a collapsed thread should select the entire thread, rather than the "visible" message only. As a workaround: Ctrl-H (Folder / Select Message Thread) selects the entire thread even when being collapsed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 262328 ***
