Default Sending multiple events

Hi

1. When I have completed a commercial agreement for one of my clients, I
send them a list of the key dates and events arising out of it.

2. I’d like to email them a single file that – on double click – will
automatically import those dates into their Outlook calendars.

3. This must be easy! I have heard of two ways, but both have limits:

A. Send a .hol file – problem: the format is (I think) limited to TITLE,
DATE whereas I’d like to include quite a lot of narrative about the event.
Clearly I can add narrative to existing holiday entries in the calendar, so
why can this information not be bundled into the .hol file?

B. Send an .ics file – problem: they are hard to create, but looking at
notepad it seems as though I could manage it. But they need to be "imported"
(double-click will only add the first event) and this is too fiddly.

C. Send a .vcal file - problem: multiple-events not supported.

Can anyone help with this?
