A quick update on this. Torsten provided me with basic bundles for 
BusyCal and Fantastical (thanks!), and I've been working on a bundle for 
Calendar. There is only 1 command in each of the bundles named “Create 
Event”. All text of the currently selected message is taken as input, 
but the range of selected text is also available to the commands. This 
means that the commands base the default date on the selected text, and 
if nothing is selected then MailMate tries to find a date itself (using 
Apple's text parsers).

Warning: The BusyCal/Fantastical bundles most likely do not work right 
now. I've made some changes and I haven't had time to test them yet. 
I'll do that later tonight or first thing tomorrow, but I wanted some 
users to be able to test the Calendar bundle before that.

There is also experimental support for SmartyPants which can be enabled 
as follows:

	defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmSmartyPantsEnabled -bool YES

Read the release notes for details on that. This was in no way 
implemented because of the repeated mentions of it as a missing feature 
on various popular podcasts ;-)

All of the above is available in the latest test release. I'll be online 
again later tonight to answer any questions.
