Auto-pasting email content in calendar appt?

[Ms_Cynic]

There used to be an option when, while creating a calendar appointment, I could insert the text of a message from my inbox. I cannot for the life of me find how to do this now though.

There's nothing obvious under the Insert options, just to attach an email, not insert the text into the appointment's body.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Try Insert tab - Outlook item. You should have the option of inserting text or attachment. As an FYI, if you are inserting text, you can drag selected text to the appt body (easiest if you have outlook and the appt form open side by side) or drag it to the calendar button... or just drag the entire email to the calendar to open a new appt form.

Or use reply with meeting - this will add the recipients to the meeting but you can delete them - its available in both the ribbon when you read in the reading pane and in open messages.

Ah yes, of course, that's where it is. Thanks so much, Diane.
