email reply should be able to schedule a meeting

[Guest]

email business discussions (threads) often result in agreement to meet by
phone or in person. The agreement to meet in in the email. But you can't
reply to an email with a meeting request, which is the logical thing to do.
The current system is very clunky for doing this.

I suggest that any message can be replied to with a meeting request and that
the message content becomes the notes in the meeting request, them recipients
remain the same (to = to, cc = optional)

Maybe it's not as clunky as you think - try dragging the email into the
Calendar and it will make a new meting with the data in it.
