Instead, the user should be able to select all the attachments and drag/drop them into the inbox or another folder, for processing as normal emails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select 2 or more emails in the inbox 2. Forward to self as attachments 3. Receive mail 4. Select attachment 5. Drag/drop attachment into inbox Actual Results: Cannot drag attachment into inbox. Cursor turns to slashed circle. Expected Results: Expect software to put the attachment into the inbox so that it can be processed as a normal email. This is the functionality that Outlook (in all its iterations) has, and the same behavior from Thunderbird would warrant the term 'Outlook-Killer' be applied. It is the only thing holding me (and others, I suspect) from using it exclusively and ditching outlook altogether.
