            Bug ID: 331317
           Summary: Feature request - Create Calendar event from E-Mail
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.11.5
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: andreash87 at gmx.ch

The E-Mail component of Kontact offers a nice feature. That is, you can create
a ToDo reminder from an E-Mail by right clicking on it and selecting `Create
To-do/Reminder`. However, while this is a nice feature, most of the time I
actually want to create a calendar event out of an E-Mail. And unfortunately
the people sending these E-Mails haven't figured out, yet, how to attach an
iCal (or similar).

So, here's the feature I want to suggest:
Right click on the E-Mail text, or use a toolbar button, which says `Create
Calendar Event`. It opens a dialog, where the current E-Mail's subject is
copied into the event title, the message body is copied into the event's body,
and optionally, it *attempts* to guess the Location and Start/End fields from
contents in the message. (Doesn't have to be perfect)

Configuration being the spirit of KDE, I could imagine a few configuration
options like "add sender/recipients to attendees", or add mail attachments to
event attachments, etc. But, to me that's optional advanced stuff.

I'm running Kontact 4.11.5 on openSuse 13.1. 

Reproducible: Always
