Yes I agree here with you. But it means, that to drag a message from list 
you would have to:
1. Click on message, so it is selected.
2. Click on it second time and do a drag.
I think it's not nice.
And..., take look on windows explorer (or whatever its name - you know - 
the ms win file browser). I was thinking about 'list' like widgets in 
other apps.

Yes I know. When I wrote application with gtk and used list, and I didn't 
want the behaviour (like pan), the only way, it was to add dummy d'n'd 
handler.
By the way, if somebody has better resolution, let me know :)
So you have behaviour like in pan without d'n'd, or like in balsa with 
d'n'd. (In gtk toolkit, I don't know others well enough).
Please, correct me somebody if I'm wrong.

Sorry.
Of course you can. This was because default action for reply, is reply to 
sender not to the group. I wanted to send to the group.
