Public bug reported: I wasn't sure whether to report this against Nautilus or Thunderbird.
Expected behavior: * When dragging a file from a smb share to an email, the file should attach. Actual behavior: * Attachment is listed as smb://path_to_file, but when you attempt to send the message, thunderbird presents this error: "Sending of message failed. There was an error attaching smb://path_to_file. Please check if you have access to the file." Note that attaching works fine if you use the "attach" dialog to locate and attach the file instead of dragging and dropping the file.
