I added the following extensions to the list of files types that are allowed to be attached to posts.
.lsp (LISP)
.m (Drafting Macros)
.htm (Web Page/HTML)
.mht (Web Archive)
The MHT type is something I learned from Berney Coleman of CoCreate. When you are viewing a web page in Internet Explorer, you can click Save As..., then change the "Save as type:" to "Web Archive, single file (*.mht)". This creates a single file that looks just like the web page you are viewing, including graphics which are linked from other files. This is much simpler than saving the HTML and graphics files separately then bundling into a zip file. You can open the files and view them in IE, but I'm not sure about other browsers.
I also added icons for the PDF, HTM, and MHT file types so that they will display a standard icon when attached to a post. I didn't add any icons for .m or .lsp files since I am not aware of any standard icons for LISP or Drafting macros.
