hey google apps does that, too! :) i can create a calendar event right in an email, or click "create an event" to take me to google calendar. google calendar then populates data from the email and tries to guess the date and time...it actually gets it right sometimes, too. conversely, you can email attendees to a calendar event right from google calendar. not only that, you can select groups of people to email based on their response status. the integration between gmail and google calendar is very tight.
