Vcalendar issue

A user is receiving vCalendar entries as text such as this:

Can this be fixed so that this will automatically become a calendar entry?
I have tried to copy and paste this text into a new appointment form, to no
avail.

The user is using Outlook 2002 and the sender is using Outlook 2003.

Thanks!

What does the Internet message header look like? Has it gone through an
anti-virus checker? Does the meeting request work if you omit the reminder?

I'm not sure what you mean about the Internet message header...? Yes, our
email goes through a virus checker -

Thanks.

The Internet message header is what you see in the Tools | Options dialog.
My guess is that the virus checker is altering the message so that Outlook
can no longer recognize it as a valid iCalendar item. It would be
interesting to know what virus software you're using and if the meeting
request works OK when it's turned off.
