Transferable tr = dtde.getTransferable();

You can provide a list of absolute path of .eml files that has been dropped onto the swing component and then your code can get those files from that path for further operation.

You can implement Transferable into your own class that can be used to provide data for a transfer operation and extend TransferHandler class to define your own DataFlavor.
