Q: 

How to email an icalendar (ics) file

Hi, Im developing a RoR application, i'm using Ri_Cal to generate an ics file, i want to email this file as an attachment so people who receive it can add the events I'm sending to their calendar. I have tried attaching the file in an email but when i open it with Mail.app in OSX it doesn't automatically ask if i want to add the event. I have to download etc. How can i archive this to be automatically?
