Say I've received a message M from Licia, containing file foo.txt. Later I write a not directly related mail N to Robert, but want to attach foo.txt.
Is there a way to do this without opening M, explicitly saving foo.txt in some temporary location, switching to N again and going to the temporary file to attach it?

Yes; Most desktop clients will attach the attachment if you forward the email. – Ramhound – 2017-01-09T21:34:43.083
Of course, but that's not what I'm asking about. I want to re-attach a file to an unrelated mail (which may itself be a reply to something else). – leftaroundabout – 2017-01-09T21:45:10.333
Isn't it easier to forward the email with the attachment then copy and paste the text of the other emal? – Ramhound – 2017-01-09T21:46:12.067
Certainly not in case the email I'm writing has multiple recipients and/or additional attachments that are already selected. – leftaroundabout – 2017-01-09T21:49:57.530
I suppose you could write an add-on to do what you want. – Ramhound – 2017-01-09T21:54:33.120
In outlook, it is possible to drag and drop it directly from one email to another as txt file attached in your case. – Scorpion99 – 2017-01-09T22:59:49.137
@Scorpion99 ... I guess I should use GUI applications every once in a while like normal people do, so I'll come up with such a ridiculously obvious solution. Yeah: indeed drag&drop works in Thunderbird too. Will you make that an answer? – leftaroundabout – 2017-01-10T00:11:28.917
