I need to implement dragging outlook attachment to web browser, when dropped, I should get some file info, I tried using pure javascript, but not working, Now I have no idea,

You cannot do that directly. See Upload fails when user drags and drops attachment from email client
Saving attachment to the file system is pretty much the only workaround.

I'm currently writing an WebApi endpoint that is to accept image uploads with associated Descriptions and titles. I want to be able to send this information up in one post rather than sending the image and then the meta data in a subsequent call.
The client sending this is a mobile application written in Xamarin.
Searching the internet I struggled to fine any direction to doing this kind of thing although I'm sure it's possible.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

I am trying to build my own WOPI host using ASP.NET MVC and its WebAPI functions according to this example
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6
I successfully used that example to connect to my Office Web App Server and I can use that to access files of Excel and PowerPoint in local path and I am able to edit it, but I cannot use it to open word document in editing mode as the Post action handler isn't implemented completely without any response so that it cannot handle any edit request.
In order to add support for editing of Office document, I tried this example with POST request handler based on Cobalt library extracted from Office Web App Server.
https://github.com/marx-yu/WopiHost
With this example I managed to edit ans save all kinds of document with Office Web App Server. However, when I tried to integrate these two together I found that even if I can enter the edit window of Excel and PowerPoint and I can see that Post Requests from Office Web App Server like locking and Cobalt are handled by my WOPI Post API action handler. Those change doesn't take any effect on my local file at all. Moreover, I still cannot edit word document and when I checked the back log of Office Web App Server, I found the error message is Cobalt is not supported while I have already set the SupportsCobalt in CheckFileInfo response to true! Any help is very appreciated!
I think I have exactly what you are looking for. Check out my implementation of the WOPI host. It's an MVC6 app that takes the best from the both examples you are referring to and adds some extra features.
Outlook keeps showing the following images when trying to display images from our image server.
Here is an example of the image its trying to load.

Any thoughts on what might be causing outlook to contact our image server in an extremely slow manner?
Discovered the issue. Images embeded in the email were missing "http:" so mail services like gmail could discover the image but not mail clients like Outlook or iPhone Mail App.
So URLs were

Is it possible to send HTML emails from WP7? I might have overlooked it but it doesn't appear that there is a parameter in the EmailComposeTask for specifying this.
Although the device is capable of receiving and displaying HTML emails, the EmailComposeTask does not provide an API to enable you to send HTML emails. If this is a requirement of your application (and I'd caution you on using up too much user bandwidth for larger volumes of data), then you will need to access a web service that provides access to a mail server for you.
This is for a company intranet app, so everyone is using firefox on XP and I can install whatever is needed.
We'd like to setup an email with a pre-made subject and attachment (similar to using mailto), but the mailto spec doesn't allow attachments.
Any ideas how it can be done? Perhaps using a ff extension?
update: The file is a network file at the company.
update: A good deal of customisation happens in each users outlook, signatures etc. that we'd like to keep.
You're probably much better off providing a form for the users to fill out and and doing the email from the web server. That will give you the most flexibility.
