ASCII files only are the desired file type for Drag & Drop operation at this time. However there is
currently no mechanism in place to alert the user that a file contains non-printable characters.
The Drag & Drop File support that follows the state of the "View File" check box in that if
checked, files are displayed in the Outgoing Message window for user processing and if not
checked a single file selected is just sent and multiple files are queued for sending by user
authorizing them one by one.
Any area of the program at the Outgoing Message Window and above can have the file dropped
onto it with proper results, below that window nothing will happen.
When "View File" is checked, one or more files can be highlighted for selection and then
dragged and dropped onto the MS-DMT where the files will be displayed in the Outgoing
Message window. As printable ASCII content files can only have all of their contents properly
displayed on either end of the equation, and null characters will cause undesired issues, the user
should be careful in file selection.
Any pre-existing contents of the Outgoing Message Window will automatically be cleared by
design, if you want the content of more than one then on file to display then you use multi-file
selection, if you want something else added or changed to it that you have elsewhere, you need
to paste it after the drop.
The first file that is processed when multiple files are selected is one that the mouse is actually
clicked on for the drag & drop process. The remaining files are then processed in their visual
order.
When "View File" is NOT checked, if a single file is dragged and dropped it will immediately start
a transmission of the files contents.
When "View File" is NOT checked, if more than one file is selected, then the user will be
presented with a message dialog and YES/NO/CANCEL choice regarding the processing of the
files that were dropped onto MS-DMT.
