 But required because you have to enter a filename somewhere.

 The simple answer is "no". The reason is stated above: when you drag
something to explorer it must be a file name, i.e. it must already have a
name. A message in a mailbox doesn't have any associated file name so I
really don't see how could this be done. Unless you start playing games
with explorer extensions and so on, you simply can't do this: a message is
not a file.

 I don't really understand why do you have to drag them to explorer for
this and what's wrong with having folders in the tree in Mahogany itself
and dragging messages to those folders?
