Go to new iCal entry after adding it in Mail System 10.5
As noted with this previous hint, you can use data detectors in Mail to add events to iCal. It turns out you can go directly to this entry in iCal. Instead of choosing "Add to iCal", if you hold the Option key it becomes "Edit in iCal…". Clicking on that opens iCal and shows you the new entry (although you must hit the edit button to actually edit it).

[kirkmc adds: Also, if you click a data detector triangle, you get a Create New iCal Event... menu item; choose it and you get an iCal-like dialog in Mail to create the event. But if you hold down the Option key, the menu item becomes Create New Event in iCal; note the lack of ellipsis. Choosing this menu item creates the event directly in iCal (and opens iCal if it's not running).]
