Make email a calendar event

R

Roy Saatchi

Would you tell me whether it's possible to drag or convert an email into a
calendar event. I know in Outlook you can simply drag the email into the
calendar and it opens a new event complete with all the email information
for you to set the date. Is something like this possible in Entourage 2008
please?

In my scripts, I have one that's called "Make event from Item".
I can't remember wehther it's one of the scripts provided with Entourage
of if I got it somewhere else, but I'm sure you can find it on
MacScripters in the later situation,
You can assign a shortcut to it if you want to make it easier to use,

Thanks for the prompt response. With your clue and a bit more searching I
found out how to do it so thanks very much. Basically I have to go to the
squiggly S in the menu bar (is that what you meant by Scripts?) and there I
can select Create Task, Event, or Note from Message in the drop down window.
Brilliant.

There's a Microsoft script called 'create event from message', but not one
called 'make event from item'.

You can also use Links. In Entourage 2008, add the Links icon to the
toolbar. When the message is open select Link.

I should probably clean up my script folder... I have multiple
iterations of these scripts.
I also have "Create event from Item" :)
I'll probably just keep the MS one,
