Yeah, this "apparent madness" would become even less "apparent" <vbg> if
one could drag'n'drop messages _between_ the different windows of TB.
Usually this stuff is implemented by allowing to "drop" the dragged object to
the button of the corresponding window in the taskbar. I'd say this method is
much faster and more visually intuitive then the currently implemented (via the
menus or the context menu). The latter makes me sick;-)
Besides, I'd sure wish to be able to attach the messages like the normal files,
and this could be implemented the same way: dragging the message from
whatever different place onto the message composer button on the task bar.
Finally, this could be made to support the wish I've heard on TBUDL lately: to
include the text of any message into the text of the currently-composed one
using drag'n'drop.
This kind of functionality can be considered as my own "favourite peeve";-))
