Kontact provides advanced drag and drop functionality between the programs it contains. Following is a brief description of each of the specific drag and drop operations that can be used and the result of each.
Dragging a message from
KMail's Headers pane
to the icon for KOrganizer's To-do list
()
will create a new To-do with
Mail: Subject
as the title and
From: Sender
To: Receiver
Subject: Subject
as the contents
(where text that looks like
this
is information
from the message itself), as well as the email message itself as an
attachment.
Dragging a message from
