<p dir="auto">Busycal has an alternative to using AppleScript based on a custom URL scheme (similar to what is often done on iOS and what MailMate does for the <code>mailto:</code> URL scheme): <a href="https://support.busymac.com/blog/23829-busycal-url-handler">https://support.busymac.com/blog/23829-busycal-url-handler</a></p>
<p dir="auto">This can actually be a good thing since it's probably faster than using AppleScript when launching a command from within MailMate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, I'm not sure exactly how you want this to work, but it's certainly possible to create a command which based on the currently selected message (or selected text in the message) can create an event in BusyCal/iCal/Fantastical (3 more bundles to be created). The main problem, of course, is to convert text to event data. I could perhaps implement a feature where MailMate can be told to analyze the message (or selected text) with the data detectors in Mac OS X (10.7+) before calling the external script. This could help find dates, addresses, and phone numbers I believe. (Making no promises, just thinking out loud.)</p>
