Drag and drop attachments from received/sent emails into a new email
Is there any hope that fastmail will add this feature.
It can be done with free emails like outlook.com etc and is really useful |

I usually just forward the original email, editing the subject line etc. as necessary, when needing to do something like this.

Doesn't work tho if you need to drag and drop attachments from various emails.
MS have got it right with Outlook, when will FM? |

On a PC, I just click the download icon on the attachment(s), which downloads attachments to my Downloads folder. Then I drag them from the Downloads folder into the new Fastmail email compose screen (on a differing browser tab or window).and into the message body or attachment area, causing them to be attached to the new message.
If I drag an attachment directly into another browser tab or window, a link to the Fastmail internally stored file is placed in the message body (not as an attachment). I think this is a bug. I will try to get around to filing a support request for this apparent bug. Bill |

One way to avoid it is to save the attachments to some temporary folder in the file storage in FastMail and then attach them from the file storage area (I never had to do it this way because usually when I need to send lots of files I'm at work and we have a very fast connection). |
