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.)
