I've sometimes receive .ics files from Lotus Notes users (poor things).

Quick Look has a good idea of what it is (though the time it displays is
an hour out). iCal opens when I double-click it, but then does nothing
with it; same if I drag it to iCal's Dock icon.

If I drag the file to iCal's calendar view, it creates the appointment
in the right place (though it also gets the time wrong - an hour late).

The time of the meeting in the email message Subject line is "10:00
GDT".

So two problems: firstly, it doesn't do what expected when
double-clicked, and secondly, the time's incorrect.

Any suggestions?

Could the time be set incorrectly on the sender's machine?

You could have some little script that changed the time (from GDT to DST
maybe?). At the same time, I guess there must be some header that is
different between the ics that you have, and the ics that it expects
that you could also change
