Default Drag & Drop Email Message to Appt Doesn't Drop Attachment

When I drag and drop an email message with an attachment into an appointment,
the attachment isn't there. The name of the attachment is there, but nothing
opens. I'm pretty sure it used to work. Are there settings I can check to
see if they've changed?

No setting is involved. That's just the way Outlook works. To copy the
attachment would require a code solution. I've posted one for creating tasks
from messages at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=959 and it
could be adapted to creating appointments.
