Ah .. got it to work.  Reason it wasn't working is because I had iCal  
on a second display and Mail on the local display (MBPro)

when I moved iCal to the local display, I could drag and drop by  
dragging the message from the browser panel.  You don't see the object  
in iCal until you make iCal the frontmost app.

yeah, what the hell is that link ?  ouch !
