Re: compose->show->attach

(cc to balsa-list, perhaps other people have an opinion about this  
topic. The discussion is about what should happen if one drags a  
message from message index to the compose window).

Yes, the application makes sense - but such D&D never worked _right_ in  
2.x series - the pasted body was quoted twice. If nobody missed that so  
far, why anybody would care now (OK, I am teasing now).

How should we solve this problem? Having "Show/Attachments" just to be  
able to attach messages is bit stupid, IMHO - the attachment area  
serves just as a large D&D target. One wants to show the attachment  
list when there are any and have nothing shown when there are no  
attachments, right?
