I still cannot understand what is happening and how it differs from what 
you want. What is "the existing picture?" What "copies itself"?

If you drag a message to a new folder in KMail, the default is to move 
it. If you hold down the CTRL key, the message is copied (and the drag 
icon gets a plus sign (+) to signify this variant action).

Perhaps you're trying to drag icons out of KMail alltogether? This is 
the equivalent to the "Save As..." command. As such, removing the 
message from the mailbox would not be appropriate.

Whatever it is you're not liking, I dont't think it needs to be "fixed."

It's an available option, though personally I hate it. In the Control 
Panel folder, open the Folder Options control panel (this control panel 
is also accessible from the Tools menu of Windows Explorer). In Folder 
Options' General tab, in its third section, you control single- or 
double-click to open desktop items. It applies to items in Windows 
Explorer, as well.
