Changing an Email to a Meeting Request

We've all done it. You start typing an email, then four lines into your magnificent prose you realise that what you've typed is probably best delivered in face-to-face meeting. So now you want to send a meeting request. It seems a terrible shame to deprive humanity of your beautifully-crafted words so deleting your half-finished email is not an option. So wouldn't it be nice if you could convert your email into a meeting request?

Here's the quickest way I've found. CTRL-A will 'Select All' of the text in your email. Now drag and drop the highlighted text onto the Calendar icon in the Navigation Pane and, bingo, you now have a new appointment containing the text of your email masterpiece. All that's left to do is to click the Invite Attendees button and type in the names of your intended recipients. Now sit back and admire the artistry of your most recent crowning accomplishment.

  Yeah I've always loved the drag and drop feature.
