Default Outlook should allow conversion of Email text to a Calendar entry

Why not just right click and drag the email to the calendar and select "copy
here as appointment with text?"

Alternatively, write a little code that you can run on these items to pull
the information and populate an appointment item.

After furious head scratching, settlit asked:
