It would be nice to drag an attachment out of an email and drop in the inbox. I get an email each day from my web domain containing spam that was filtered out, and each of these is an attachment. My brother emails me at work though I ask him not to, so I forward home as an attachment. I frequently need attached emails contained in parent emails. I drag the attached email and drop on the desktop, then from the desktop drag and drop into the inbox. I would like the dropped email to be UNREAD since it defaults to read. Sometimes I want to run filters on it so it moves to the correct folder but must mark unread, first, and it is more difficult to find in my inbox because it is not unread. A change was recently made to TB. I've noticed this works better. When dropped on the desktop it would not have the extension .eml, so when I dragged back into TB it would not be recognized. I would always have to change the extension after dropping it. Have not had to do that for awhile. So, yes it would be nice to drag directly from a parent email and drop in a TB folder.
