429950 - Allow converting Emails via context menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 430430

(Calendar :: Lightning Only, defect)

Description

[Philipp Kewisch [:Fallen] [:📆][:🧩]]

Attachment: Add conversion to context menu - v1

To make the feature more obvious for the user, we should provide more ways to convert the items.

This patch adds a menu to the threadPane and messagePane context menus, that allows conversion to task and event. The menu is added directly after the "Move To" option.

|Copy To         >|| Event... |
|Move to Inbox... || Task...  |

r- because of some issues with getting the header and body data from emails:

(1) Takes always body text from last message shown in message pane.
(2) Doesn't get the subject of the email as title if using the context menu on thread pane.

Probably Bug 410050.

Philipp,
could you please have a look at bug 413663?
Since you already provided a first patch I would like to close my bug as dup of yours, when you agree to also expand the context menus for converting Events to Task/Mail.

This bug is about a context menu extension for email messages while Bug 413663 was filed for the calendar view / task list context menu - no duplicate.

Taken care of in bug 430430, and bug 410050.
