Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start a mail composition 2.Open an address book and select an address 3.Drag the address to the text area - nothing happens 4.Drage the address to the attachment area - nothing happens. Actual Results: No attachements or transfer of contact information is placed in the current email composition. Expected Results: Mozilla should have copied the contact information in text form or as a vcard attachment to the current email composition.

I guess the full vCard support deficiency expressed in bug 29106 needs to be resolved before this bug can be tackled. I wonder the ease with which this enhancement can be tackled, given that when dragging a attachment any part of the composing window can be used to drop it into, while for items from the address book dropping them on the sending list acts different. An easier to implement solution (complementary to this one) would be through the use of some menu in the address book (e.g. "Add to New Message"), but that still depends on proper vCard content, input and output support.

Just find an older bug asking for this too, so marking this one as duplicate.
