Comment(by deryni):

 I agree that radio buttons are probably not the best choice here. I agree
 that we should offer to direct connect automatically (or simply just warn
 that embedding the image requires it and attempt the connection when the
 button is pressed). I do not agree that we should assume the user wants to
 embed the image simply because they dropped it into the entry area, though
 this is less of a problem than assuming that if they drop it onto the
 history area they want to send the file (that we should never assume).

 One of the benefits of the current mechanism is that the entire
 conversation window area is a drag target for any of the actions and you
 don't need to specifically target any smaller area for a given action. I
 consider that an interaction and simplicity gain rather than a penalty or
 annoyance (but then again I personally have never dropped an image into a
 conversation window).
