It's easy to create an appointment from an email in Microsoft Outlook: just drag the email message to the calendar and drop it.

You can drag an email to one of the buttons on the navigation bar then drop it to create an appointment with the contents of the message in your default Calendar or you can hover over the button to expand the navigation pane, then drop it on another Calendar.

This works with any Outlook item type.
