Sending event directly to your own calendar

It would be fabulous if there was a mechanism whereby when you RSVP'd for an event there was the option to add that directly to your own calendar (Outlook in my case). As I can't seem to cut and paste the info from the event page (and that could just be my own cluelessness but...) I have to add the event by hand and my lack of patience makes this an enormous PITA. I've seen this type of thing on other sites (Seattle Public Library comes to mind), and it works well.
