I'm starting to doubt if we are talking about the same thing.  Here is what I 
mean.

I get some emails from a concert promoter announcing a show.  I can click on 
the email in the list pane, and drag and drop it to the calendar icon on the 
kontact components pane.  An event entry dialog opens up with the subject in 
the Title, the To/From/Subject in the note, and the mail attached and showing 
in the Attachments tab.

The title tells me a minimal amount about the event, the note tells me 
nothing, and the attachment is only useful if I edit the event on the 
desktop, switch to the Attachment tab, select and view the attachment.  
Viewing the attachment is involved on the desktop, and impossible on the 
handheld.

It is a technology with a lot of potential, but would be more useful if the 
body of the email was inserted in the note instead of as an attachment.
