I was just listing a couple of options to illustrate the capabilities.
There will also probably a difference between dragging one message and more 
than one message, in which case HTML could be difficult, while an URI list or 
something like a "transfer mbox" could still work.

Btw, for the URI it might be good to think about eventually transport the 
hostname as well, similar to file: URIs, so an application running on a 
different machine but displaying on the same X server can decide not to use 
this MIME type (since it won't be able to access the Akonadi server).

Cheers,
Kevin
