I don't know if this is exactly what you need, but you can do that
with TMail with:

irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
irb(main):002:0> require 'tmail'

irb(main):003:0> mail = TMail::Mail.new

irb(main):004:0> mail['header'] =  'Content-Type=text/calendar,
param={"METHOD" => "REQUEST"}'
=> "Content-Type=text/calendar, param={\"METHOD\" => \"REQUEST\"}"
irb(main):005:0> puts mail.encoded
Header: Content-Type=text/calendar, param={"METHOD" => "REQUEST"}


Would mean using TMail, it is heavier than RMail, both are good, YMMV.

You might also want to get onto the TMail Talk mailing list or have a
look through the recently updated RDocs at the website;
