Without knowing of this new addition to Mail, I stumbled upon this one the other day. I had an appointment time and location emailed to me, and when I happened to run the mouse over this information, I noticed a drop-down… ‘What’s this?’ I thought… Then I smiled… Cause I think I had already figured it out.
As expected, Apple has built-in a handy new feature that I’m loving so far. They are calling this new feature ‘data detection’. Basically, when Mail notices an appointment, contact or location, it gives you the option of adding an appointment to your iCal, adding a contact to your Address Book, or mapping the location on Google Maps.

I’ve already found this to be quite handy for keeping on top of appointments. This feature makes adding to your iCal so easy, it’s almost a no-brainer to use.
Two big thumbs up on this one.
