In 2020 I had asked how it's not possible ( and after what, 10yrs of Lightening being in production ) that in 2020 that when a person ( we will call him Bob ) send another person ( we will call her Sally ) an email ( and there are 2 other people on that same email ) that when Sally wants to QUICKLY and EASILY setup a meeting that people from the email from Bob are not just added to that new meeting and you are done?

This should be INCREDIBLY incredibly easy to do: right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and then when the dialog box pops up, Bob, Sally, and the 2 other people are added to that meeting. Yet, No. Three years later? How can this be ?

In the original post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1295910 and as commented on by @sfhowes it was suggested to ask on the chat groups. Yep. Did that. Nothing. Again, How can this be?

So, Let's add up the time it takes to do this, the number of clicks, etc,. and it's more than 5 mins just to go back and forth to the original email, copy and past peoples names and put them into the "attendees" dialog box. If I have to do 10 of these a day - and I often do, that's 1hr a day of meeting setup that I could do in literally 1 min if the above functionality worked and which it does on just about EVERY other email platform out there. Add this up, 1hr a day, 20 work days a month that's 20hrs a month * 12 = 240 hrs or TWENTY FOUR DAYS of our lives wasted every month making calendar invites where if right right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and peoples names and email addresses were already added, this would not be happening.

Is there someone at Modzilla / Thunderbird / Lightening that we can pay to put this functionality which was clearly there in the past back, so we can ALL have 23 days of our life back every year? :))))))))))))))

It's 2023. This functionality is clearly needed to be enabled again.

I appreciate your interest in furthering Thunderbird, but you're really wasting your (and our) time by complaining here. This is a support forum, staffed by lowly volunteers who have no authority to change anything in Thunderbird. Our function is to assist people in using Thunderbird as it exists, not as people wish it to be. If you have complaints or suggestions, I encourage you to consider the website at either of these URLs: connect dot mozilla dot org or the one at bugzilla dot mozilla dot org. In doing so, you would need to be explicit in your proposal, as opposed to just complaining. Thank you.

Thank you kindly David, and as fully detailed, with explicit engineering details as listed in my like above and in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1295910 not to mention previously listed on connect dot mozilla dot org and bugzilla dot mozilla dot org my guess would be that after 3 years, and where such a basic piece of functionality is built into every other similar program out there: OutLook; (apple) Mail ; not to mention in G-mail, etc., it was time for a simple push to make things happen. 3yrs is just too long to wait for such basic functionality, but for sure, I'll again put it on your suggestions. Many thanks!

@wsmwk + @davidsk thanks for the assistance and direction

The full details for the needed functionality that is a part of every other calendar scheduling system out there: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/in-thunderbird-lightening-auto-insert-email-recipients-into-a/idi-p/30303 is up and rollin'

Let's hope there is support for such a simple and useful daily piece of functionality and this does not get buried in the ( unless there are votes,votes,votes popularity contest ) list of everything else.
