Curiously, "dinner — tonight" and "Wednesday at 7pm" are underlined like links to websites. Who or what would do such a thing; and why?
Chances are, iPhone Mail would; to make your life easier.
When it detects a time or date in an email, iPhone mail offers to extract these and use them for a new event in the calendar — with the date and time already set.
Create Calendar Events from Emails in iPhone Mail
To create a calendar event from a time and date mentioned in an email from iPhone Mail:
- Tap the date or time underlined in blue in the email message.
- If you wonder whether the underlined text could also be a link to a web page, tap and hold instead to find out.
- Select Create Event from the menu that comes up.
- Verify the starting time and date, and add an event title as well as other details as needed.
- Tap Done.
