Hi,

I’m guessing these are iCal attachments. Don’t worry about them (what’s more important is the message content).

For those who’ve never seen this kind of message before: this is auto-generated when Nimer and I create a calendar event. These are created when we believe an event that’s of importance to this community are coming up, including the Accessible World Tek Talk presentation in a few days. Starting in April, we’ll include monthly reminders such as useful links, guidelines and so on. We’ll intentionally not include NVDA releases as calendar events as they are not quite predictable (although general time frame can be guessed, last minute bugs can delay a release); for those, we’ll use a different approach: hashtags.

Cheers,

Joseph

I noticed that with this message, there are 2 attachments with an .ics extension.  What program uses this extension?
