I am looking for a way to create an automatic calendar entry when a specific
e-mail hits my Inbox.

I was hoping to do it thru the Rules Wizard, but it looks like it may
require more porgrammatic effort than I imagined.

Can somebody make a suggestion?

What I am looking for is the following:

When an e-mail from specific sender and subject hits Inbox, I want an event
created in Calendar on a specific date and a reminder of this event pop-up a
certain period of time prior to the event due date.

Is this too sophisticated to be done easily?

Thanks for input.

You may want to ask this in an Outlook programming group to see if it is
possible. It is not a native feature of Outlook. Rules only work on
message items, not the calendar.

You might want to consider Infuzer - www.infuzer.com. I send Infuzable
events via email to my colleagues. When the click on this "infuzable
event", it gets copied to their e-calendars.
