10.5: Apply data detectors to Safari web pages

Once you start using Leopard's data detectors in Apple Mail to add events to iCal and contacts to Address Book, it's natural to start craving data detectors in other apps.

Until Apple adds them to Safari, an easy workaround is to use Safari's Mail Contents of This Page (Command-I) menu item to send a web page to Mail. The data detectors don't work in an editing window, so just save and close the new message window. Select the message in your Drafts folder, and then start hovering over the contents in the lower pane of the Message Viewer.
