converting a mail to Calendar Invite / Meeting request
 

How can I quickly convert / create a Calendar Invite / Meeting Request
from a Mail so that all mail recipients are invited and the content on
the mail is pasted in the invite

Thanks
Sanjay

While you can easily drag a mail message to the calendar to open a new
appointment window (which will include your mail message as text in the
notes pane of the appointment), there's no way I know to have Outlook fill
in the message recipients as attendees.

An addendum to my prior post. There is a fairly easy way to add the
attendees, if they're all in your Contacts, the GAL, or their explicit
internet address is given. Drag the message to the Calendar, creating a new
appointment. Leave the new appointment window on the screen. Go back to
the original message, right-click on the recipient list and choose "Select
All". RIght-click again and choose Copy. Now in the new appointment
window, click the Scheduling tab, then click "Add Others" at the bottom and
choose "Add from Address Book". Right-click the Required (or Optional, as
you wish) field and choose Paste. Click OK. That should add the recipients
as attendees. It did for me.
