           Summary: Add Menu Item to Kmail Module to Create EVENT to
                    Calendar From Selected Mail
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.8.x
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: new plugin wishes
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: harryl at owc.net


Version:           4.8.x (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

With Kmail 1, I was able to create an Event via dragging the email to the
Calendar Icon. Now with kmail 2, this does not work as before. What happens is
an event is created with the subject as the Akonadi record description. Before
it made an event with " Mail:xxxxxxxxx" in the Subject line.

I used this Event feature to record correspondence while looking for work. This
way the entries were less prone to deletion ( From mistakingly deleting past
ToDos via that Menu Selection), 

I did see that there was a menu entry for ToDo/reminder in the Kmail module.
What I would like to see would be an additional entry for creating an Event
from the selected mail. I think the code for the Create ToDo could be used and
substitute Event for ToDo, and add a menu entry for this.

I have been using Kontact for a couple of years now, and it is a fantastic PIM. 

This request is for a feature that was somewhat undocumented in the earlier
Kontact documentation. It would be easier to do a menu select than the Drag &
Drop Method.

Thanks!







Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Drag & Drop on Calendar Icon does not create event with Mail:xxxxx in the Event
Subject line. Instead it inserts the Record identifier from Akonadi.

Actual Results:  
Inserts the Record identifier from Akonadi.

Expected Results:  
Create Event with email subject as Mail: email subject in Event Subject line
