OK... upon further experimenting, I too think it is a bug!

This is on Mandriva 2010.0.

Running Thunderbird 3.0.4 for the first time, the migration wizard did
it's stuff and thence no drag'n'drop. I also had the usual security
exception to allow for an out of date certificate for a TLS imap connection.

Restarting Thunderbird and now, magically, the message drag'n'drop works
fine. Also, information bubbles pop up when the cursor is left over
various items. Rather curious.


So, it does work. Perhaps Thunderbird 3.0.4 isn't so bad after all! I
couldn't believe they could have left that feature out!

Now to explore what's new.

Don't think I need the global mail indexing. See how the other features
work out.

Cheers,
Martin
