 Priority:  normal       |    Version:
Component:  Security     |   Keywords:  .ics, iCal, calendar, file, export,

 I upload files (usually images for display, sometimes PDFs for download)
 either from the WordPress dashboard ("Add New Media" on left column), or
 from the "Add Media" button while editing a page ("Upload/Insert" above
 the editing box).

 The uploader uploads my ICS (iCal Export) file, then says in red: "File
 type does not meet security guidelines. Try another."

 I want to be able to upload our ICS file, for our fans to download and
 import into their calendars if they choose. Personally, I frequently
 download ICS files from Facebook event pages and other sources for import
 into my own iCal—as a fan I find quite a handy time-saver.

 ICS files are not executables, so I don't know that they could be used
 maliciously.

 Thank you.
