Hmm, but how can I create such a temporary file inside the drag service implementation?

I have only a mailbox:// URL to the attachment there... what component can
I use to extract the attachment from the file, pointed by the mailbox:// URL, and store it in a temporary file?

Or is there another way to retrieve the attachment data somehow? /me is still missing the overview how these things work together :(

Ciao,
