           Summary: Drag and drop of mail to korganizer symbol should
                    create meaningful event
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: grauscho at web.de


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Once upon a time, it was possible to drag and drop a mail to the korganizer
icon. Then, an event was created and the mail's subject was used as title, the
mail's body as description of the event. Then, this nice feature was broken.

Some version later, it was at least possible to create a event, then, to drag
and drop the mail to the event's attachment field and thereby create a link
between mail and event. However, this feature is now broken, too.

Currently, there seems to exist no way to link events and mails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Kontact. Switch to KMail within Kontact.

2. Drag a mail on the Korganizer icon on the sidebar.

Actual Results:  
A new event is created. The title of the event is something like

"akonadi:?item=50338&type=message%2Frfc822"

which is utter meaningless to the user. Allt the other fields of the event are
empty. It is by no means possible to link the mail to the event. Only file
attachments are supported.

Expected Results:  
The event created should have the mail's subject as title and the mail's body
as description. Attachments to the mail should also be linked from the event.
Additionally, it should be possible to link multiple mails to an event by
dragging and dropping them to the event's attachment field.

Not sure whether to file this as bug, but it seems to be a repeated regression.
