Hi,

I think my Thunderbird may have updated. (87.0b1 (32-bit)

Its been fine for years but suddenly I can no longer attach emails onto an email by dragging selected mail from my inbox onto my email that im creating.

I can also no longer copy attachments from specific emails in my inbox directly onto a new email either.

I used to just be able to drag and drop.

Now im having to save each individual file / .eml i need to attach to a new mail im sending and then click attach or drag and drop for File Explorer.

Has something happened with an update and is there any way I can enable this back on ?

Thanks

The attachment pane in composed messages is undergoing some changes. Drag and drop of messages from the Threads Pane still doesn't work in 87b2, but it appears to be fixed now and should appear in the 88b version:
