Conversion of .ics attachment to native Outlook Calendar item without opening

I am sending meeting invites from a PHP website but they end up as iCal attachments which is annoying. Since all the users are using Outlook, so I can think of sending the calendar invite as native outlook item. However, preferable way would be to let Outlook (any other client) convert iCal files on the fly withou getting the user involved. Kindly suggest a solution with working examples if possible. Thank you.

Instead of sending an attachment, send the message with the content type of "calendar/text" and the body of the message populated with contents of the ICS file.
