Might just be me, but when I try to drag an attachment (regardless of the file type) from an Entourage email into DTPO 2 beta, it does not import into the database. If I drag the attached file to the desktop, and then drag it from the desktop to the database, it imports just fine. I realize that I can drag the entire email with the attachment along with it, but that is not my particular workflow.

Thanks for your attention to this suggestion.

This is a problem with Entourage and Cocoa applications in general and can only be solved by Microsoft and Apple.
