Sadly PMMail/2 (and PMINews) mainly only support drag'n'drop 
within/between the programs themselves, and NOT with the WPS 
(with the important exception of attachments).

I don't believe it's reliably do-able with an external program
(e.g. like drag text) i.e. not without altering PMMail - AFAICT 
nothing you can get from "peeking" at the window contents can 
*reliably* identify the individual email file (although you could 
make a stab from the subject and dates etc etc, but it'd be hard!!?)!

Indeed it's not :-( If I want to get a vCard out of PMMail/2, I open
a new message, drag'n'drop the address book entry(s) into the 
attachment area, send the message to myself(!), press the "Fetch 
Mail" button, open the message and then drag the vCards to the 
desktop/WPS etc!!!
