Enabling iCalendar attachments

Meta
1

I thought it will be useful and convenient to share webinar appointments in iCalendar .ics format, so that everybody can import them to organizer and keep track on easily, but realized that forum doesn’t allow this.

Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorized (authorized extension: jpg, jpeg, png, gif).

Is this for security reasons? Any chance to enable this kind of attachments?
