How do I create a calendar appointment from an e-mail in Outlook 2011 for Mac?

In Windows, the e-mail content and attachments are carried over just by dragging and dropping. Dragging and dropping on the Mac doesn't work.

Is there any other function to take an e-mail and make it a calendar appointment?

I'm trying to avoid emailing it to myself.

Edit: Since someone went to the trouble to make email2task, is it safe to assume this feature is not available otherwise?
