How to turn email into meeting?
Is it possible to turn an email into a meeting invite? When discussing a topic via email it would be nice to just grab that email and turn it into a meeting on my calendar.

Hi kamronfromcoppell,
I understand that you'd like to be able to create an event on your calendar when viewing an email that has information that could be used to create an event. Fortunately, in some instances, this is entirely possible. The information outlined below details when and how you can go about creating calendar events from information in an email in the Mail app on your Mac.
Cheers!

Add events to Calendar
You can add events and invitations you receive in messages to the Calendar app. If you have an Exchange account, you can reply to invitations sent from Calendar, Outlook, or Outlook Web Access.
Accept a Mail suggestion: Click Add to review the suggested event (you can customize it by clicking Details), then click Add To Calendar. To decline the suggestion, click the Close button
or Ignore.
Add events yourself: Move the pointer over a date or time anywhere in a message until an outline appears around the information. Click the arrow, then click Add to Calendar (shown only if you have already set up an account in Calendar).
Add events for an Exchange account: In the banner at the top of the message containing the invitation, click Accept, Decline, or Maybe. If the event is being canceled, click OK. To view the invitation in Calendar, click the Calendar button in the banner.
Mail sends your reply to the event organizer and updates your calendar on the Exchange server and in Calendar, when it syncs with the server.
Have Mail add events for you: Choose Mail > Preferences, click General, click the “Add invitations to Calendar” pop-up menu, then choose Automatically.
Cheers!
