I’ve stumbled across a cool tool for moving contacts and meeting dates from e-mails directly into my Outlook contacts and calendar with minimal keystrokes.

It’s called Anagram. No Mac version, but if you’re using PC Outlook it’s definitely worth checking out. When you come to a meeting time or a sig in an e-mail, you highlight it, hit control-c twice and it automatically moves the meeting or contact info directly into your calendar or contacts. It does a really good job of fielding the data. You just have to make a few minor tweaks on occasion. It sounds like a small thing, but for someone who lives or dies by his e-mail, it’s a godsend.
