Thanks Paul yes I see it is:

	"* Compose window: when the focus is in the message text,
	copied files can be pasted as attachments using /Edit/paste or
	Ctrl+V. (The context menu's Paste will still insert the list of
	files into the message body.)"

so that is why it works fro Dustin, he is on a later version of CM. I
can't justify a complete upgrade to solve the problem (for me), keeping
another file manager window open that is less window size than CM ,
then use drag/drop works just fine for now.

Thanks everyone for your help.
