This is something that will probably be done for you, but if it's not, here are the steps to do it.
Use Google Mail to create an event in Google Calendar
You can create an event on your Google Calendar that uses the title and recipients list from your Gmail message. Simply open the message, click Create an event in the More menu, and then fill in the date and time. If you need more detailed instructions, here are the steps.
Use Google Mail to create a Google Document
There's a lab to enable that will add a Create a document option to the More menu when a message is open. Once that's enabled, open an email message, click Create a document in the More menu, and Google will create a document - the title will be that of the email and the content will be what's in the body of the email. If you need more detailed instructions, here are the steps.
Use Google Mail to create a Google Task (GQueues is another option)
If an email contains something that should go on your To-Do list, there's an easy way to add it to either your Google Task list or your GQueues tasks. Here are the steps.
