Visualforce email with .ics attachment that works with Gmail

Hi,

I have created a visualforce email template that contains a .ics calendar invite attachment. The attachment works fine for desktop/phone apps. But Gmail (using the web interface) will not recognise the .ics file and give the "Add to Calendar" option in the message. 

What I want is for the attached invite to appear in the email as so:
User-added image
Instead, it just appears as a regular attachment, with the only option being to download it.

I have created a calendar event in google calendar, downloaded it and emailed it to myself, and it works as per the image above. However, I put the exact same code in my VF template and send a test, and the invite doesn't work as above.

Here is my vf code (note that there are no merge fields in the invite code because I'm simply trying to get a basic invite to work). Can anyone see where I am going wrong? Thanks
