Well, I guess I can answer my own question, eh?
I found the (partial) solution in FPA, July 2001. Apparently, you check the text received in the Drop operation for keywords indicating it's an Outlook object (like "Subject"). You then invoke Outlook Automation to grab the Body of the currently selected item. I presume you can cycle through the Selection.Item(n) in case there's more than one message being dragged.
UNFORTUNATELY, this does not work for Outlook Express, since it relies on Automation. Any suggestions for OE Drag & Drop would be appreciated....
