All of a sudden, the format changed on the calendar items we received. We are
using Outlook 2007. Instead of being received in an "accept" format and
automatically put into our calendar, we receive the calendar items in this
format:

This looks like a perfectly normal vCard file to me, but if you're seeing the
text of the vCard instead of seeing it as an attachments, then this suggests
something is interfering with the proper reception of the Outlook message.
The most frequent cause is an antivirus scanner integrated into Outlook. If
you can, uninstall your AV program and reinstall it without the mail scanning
feature. If you can't, start Outlook in safe mode (hold Ctrl when starting
it) and have the sender of the vCard try resending it to see what happens.
