[DUG] Drag and drop attachments from email

[Robert martin]

Yeah both explorer and Thunderbird pass the filename.  The difference is 
than in explorer the file already exists in the location specified 
whereas in thunderbird it actually passes the filename / path of where 
it is about to save to !

I suspect this is actually a bit of a bug in thunderbird but easy enough 
to get around.
