Drag attachments from Mail to Mail to attach anew

Yet another Mail.app attachment-dragging hint:

You can create a new message with an attachment from another message just by dragging the attachment from the one message to the Mail.app icon in your dock. A new message opens up with the attachment pre-attached.

This of course is hardly different from dragging a file from the Finder to the Mail icon in the dock. But it's a handy one-step maneuver if, for example, you need to forward artwork from someone on your staff to one of your clients without your artist's commentary.

I only mention it because it seems a little strange to drag something from an app back into the same app, but hey, it works.
