Create new messages with attachments!

An easy way to use the Insight 'Files Exchanged' panel to send new messages to people is by following these steps:

1. Grab the file in the 'Files Exchanged' panel that you want to send someone.
2. Drag and drop it into the main view of the Outlook Inbox.
3. A new mail message will be created with that file attached, and the name of the attachment will automatically populate the 'Subject' field.

Kind of a cool little trick to make sending files much easier! Enjoy!

That's great.

Bear in mind if you use the 'Unread Mail' view in Outlook, this doesn't work. You have to switch back to the standard Inbox folder in order for this to create a new message.

Would be even more awesome if it worked in all views. I guess there's a feature request here that would allow for new emails to be created from attachments via a right-click on the attachment in question...
