Yes, it's possible if you know the format of meeting requests sent by Outlook. Outlook meeting request is actually just a plain text message of MIME type "text/calendar", XML-like in that it's hierarchical, but not XML as it uses different tagging scheme: BEGIN: name ... END: name on separate lines. Surely there should be no problems emailing plain text messages using documented UTL_SMTP API.
Now if the question actually is "what is the format of MS Outlook calendar events?" then I have no ready answer but "browse MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library, it may well be documented there." Otherwise you can send yourself a few different requests, check their raw content and figure out the format.
