Ah, Windows -- it's such a delight <wink>.

Indeed!  We don't hook anything even conceivably relevant except
Outlook's add-to-folder event.

Sounds likely to me.  I just tried it on OL 2003 SP1, Win XP Pro SP2. 
No problems of any kind dragging from the Advanced Find window.  OTOH,
I'm running SpamBayes from source and haven't updated in about a
month.  But then nothing interesting has changed in that month anyway.

Alas, it looks, feels, and smells like another Outlook bug.  Has
anyone looked in their SpamBayes log file for "funny messages" near
the time of the failing drag attempt?  Since it doesn't fail for me,
it's not surprising that my log doesn't show anything odd when I try.
