Funny thing. I noticed this too, but couldn't remember if the functionality was there before.

Yahoo!

I have been using an applescript to do this for the selected message (I tried modifying one of the Mail Scripts by Andreas Amann (see http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html ) but was not able to do it myself so Andreas did it for me - the other scripts are pretty useful too)

This will make that script not as often used as before - combined with the search functionality, this makes it much easier to drill down to a folder of related messages. Hooray again!

This functionality is supposed to work in all windows/applications that display a "proxy icon" (ie. the small document icon) next to the window title. Mails behavior is unique only in the "path" it displays: it shows the mailbox folder location, not the document location on disk.

Try it with other document-based apps (Pages, TextEdit, MS Word and such) - it works there as well. And you can (almost) always drag the little document icon just about anywhere to either move, copy or alias the "document" in question to that location.

The window-title-popup works even in Safari, even though there is no proxy icon.
