Drag-n-drop is lacking everywhere in Mozilla, not only in news and mail facilities. As I understand it, this is a temporary lack, and this (and other) features will be put in later, with the GA release. Again, the team is concentrating on fundamentals, and at this stage things like drag-n-drop don't fall into the "fundamental" category.
