ANN: Drag and drop from Mail into your application

Just thought I might also share some code with the community...

http://www.wuffwuffware.com/developer.html
http://www.wuffwuffware.com/download/MailDragDrop.dmg

This hack gives an example how Mail can be convinced to do drag and drop of email messages into a text view and how to react on that via AppleScript.

Surely you might ask, why not directly work with the data?
Well: Mail is not so cooperative, so you need a hack...

This in no way production code and due to the usage of some internals of Mail, it might not work in any newer version of Mail. The code is used in our internal WuffCustomer application for drag and dropping sales mails and extract the customer data from them. For us it works like a charm, but your milage might vary.

This also is an answer of the following topic:
