Thunderbird 38.6.0 If I drag an attachment from one email to another, the file is not able to be sent.

When trying to email multiple pictures: Picture files are compressed by photogalery and each open in a new email. If you then try to drag these compressed files from on email to another, Thunderbird cannot then either save that email to drafts or send it. The only (Clumsy) solution that I have found is to open the compressed file in each email, save a copy, and then reopen / attach the saved copies to the one email that you want to send. There should be a better way...?

Are you talking about regular jpg - files? (they are compressed)

I found that if I have made just one attachment, the area for attached files is open and I can drag attachments into that from other mails.
