Drag-n-drop Outlook emails in Share 4.2.f

[dhartford]

Hi all,
Does anyone have experience as to why alfresco 4.2.f does not allow drag-n-drop from an outlook email (msg file - nothing to do with preview, just the simple manual drag-n-drop)?

This used to work in 4.2.c, but 4.2.f this no longer functions.

I tested an old version of 4.2.c, and 4.2.c with Record Management (if that provided the option), but no. My testing may have been on file *.msg rather than dragging directly out of Outlook.

Additional technical references also leaning towards this not being an option (at least without flash or activex plugin):

You *are* able to drag and drop an outlook message to your desktop, to a windows share, and to an Alfresco CIFS share (however, no metadata/indexes can be added using this technique).

note: Once you have drag-and-dropped an outlook message to an actual file (desktop or share), *then* you can drag it into Alfresco Share.
