Well, if I drag and drop, I'd like to specify what to do with the dragged 
objects, like copy them, move them, etc. You don't copy mail often, but it's 
still useful to have. The implied 'dragging moves' is kinda destructive if 
you wanted copying.

But Windows' "dragging an executable links, dragging anything else within the 
same disk moves and the rest copies" is even worse, so there's still hope :P
