It looks like dragging and dropping into the To:, Cc: and message
body fields cause the item to be "dropped" twice.  Dropping something
into the Subject: field drops only once.  So I'll take a look at the
differences in the code.  I'm starting to think that this is a balsa
and not a gnomecard problem.
