No, this has nothing to do with MAPI, Redemption, or even Outlook. The window that accepts the drop event needs to handle these formats, there is no way aorund that. The only workaround is to assume that since you are getting a drop even from Outlook, the messages need to be selected first, hence you can use the Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection collection.
