Solution #1: Allow dragging documents from window list applet
Written by ralf.ebert the 7 Nov 09 at 18:18.
Allow to drag windows that represent some document from the "window list" applet. You would drag the document and be able to drop it to a folder, an e-mail, whatever you desire. Currently the only thing that can be done by dragging window items from the window list applet is reordering the windows (imo), so dragging a "window item" to some folder is an unused interaction.

Sounds like a very cool idea. Especially if someone has opened a document from another email, or a web browser and not even saved it yet.
