You can't drag to the OS/2 desktop or folders from my version
of Pmmail/2 2.10.1999.

It'd be great to be able to make shadows of email messages, email 
folders and of people and groups from the address book, provided
you could RMB on them and do mail-type things from their pop-up 
menu's etc <sigh>.

Trouble is most OS/2 programs including PMMail/2 are PM programs 
(have a GUI), but are not WPS programs (exploit the OO nature of
the WPS).  One reason is that WPS programs are hard and can make 
your system unstable if they're buggy (though there are ways around
this - you have a conventiaonal PM or character mode "daemon" program 
that does all the work, and use much simpler WPS "wrappers" to 
communicate with the main prog).
