Same here - I wasn't irked about being reminded about the conduit, but
rather that a mechanism seems to be operational that allows a stealth
appointment with reminder to be sent to other people's calendars -
particularly in mailing lists.

This would not be good if it can be exploited by spammers.

Yeah, but what if I want this feature to be on (because it is useful), but
also not be surprised by appointments popping up that I did not know about.
Apparently, even deleting the original file won't remove the appointment.

Because until now, no one has known about it, and no one has used within a
mailing list context. Once something is know, just wait, the potential for
abuse with something like that is scary.

I didn't even know I received an invitation, originally.

This might merit looking into it a bit more.
