If you are using the Mozilla Suite version and looking at his email in
ThunderBird
you should be able to select the attachment and bring up the context
menu (doubleclick or right click) and cause it to be opened.

On some OS's/WindowManagers you should be able to set the application
to open that particular Mime/Type (under windows it's file
associations, under OS X it 's buried in the preference pane, on
Gnomish systems you can right click on the file in the file browser
and select Open With (works under OS X as well)

If you are wondering what all this stuff about mime/types is see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

and know that on any recent desktop unix .ics files default to text/calendar
