   This is a very useful features for people who are not so computer savvy, or even people like me who frequently attach files.

   eh, doesn't work in Opera. They should put more energy into making it work it with Opera (or Opera more energy into making it work with gmail).

   "according to Google Engineer Adam de Boor, the feature will be enabled for other browsers too as soon as they correctly support the HTML 5 drag-and-drop functionality."

   It helps when you pay attention while reading

   line one is a useful comment -- no one will appreciate line two.

   I am sure you never overlooked anything in your reading -- ever.

   Its cumbersome to read the entire article when most of it doesn't appear on the forum page for the news... I saw html5 and remembered that when I tried a version of IE9 they had a html5 demo page and Opera was able to do those demos... Now there is a possibility it does work in 10.5 but I was on my Powerbook at the time and the latest version of Opera for that is 10.1 since it is a PPC computer and 10.5 is still in beta for PPCs. But that is the browser I used for the IE9 html5 test page so I made a small assumption based on that and that Opera and gMail don't always get along well (buzz in particular).
