1. Drag and Drop from Outlook Express

Dear List

As most of you know, when you drag a message out of Outlook Express onto 
the desktop a file is created, containing the message and named with the 
subject and ".eml". 

Is there any way to accept a dropped message into an application? The 
reasons I'm asking is that if there are two messages with the same 
subject, then the second message tries to delete the first. If you do 
the same aciton out of the Macintosh version you get two files, one 
named a little different from the first. I want to write a tool to 
accept the dragged messages and act like the Macintosh when the subject 
is the same.

He who prays fervently knows not whether he prays or not, for he is not 
thinking of the prayer which he makes, but of God, to whom he makes it.

I suggest you look at win32lib's onDragAndDrop, or whatever it is called....
