This is the home page for the Apple-Internet family of mailing lists.
It contains pointers to information sources of use to people using

List Administration
This list is run by
Chuq Von Rospach,
and assisted by
Adam Engst.
Chuq takes care of the mailing list and software, the WWW pages
and does general administration and maintenance. Adam helps out by answering
questions on the list and working on list content issues. If you aren't sure
which one is the appropriate person to ask, ask Chuq.
Adam's Internet Starter Kit for the Macintosh resource page have a lot of links to interesting things, including an ftp partition that lets you download the latest versions of many of the common Internet software tools he discusses, and that users of this list need.
This document is by definition incomplete. If you have something you think should be added to it, please send it to Chuq and request its inclusion.
Information that is of interest to users of any or all
of the mailing lists should be found on this page, while information
specific to one of the lists will be found on the home page for that list.
We are always interested in feedback on how to better structure this
information to make it easier to find. Please tell us what you think.
How to use these pages
Each mailing list has a specific topic and we've tried to set
up the Web Pages and archives to match.
There is also an
AppleSearch-based searchable archive for each list,
that you can use for keyword searching on given topics. This is a good way
to look for information that hasn't yet been added to the FAQs.
You can browse through the archives FTP partition, or use Gopher, if you prefer.

A word on e-mail hoaxes
Recently, the internet community has endured a wave of e-mail hoaxes
and pranks, exploiting users unfamiliarity with how the internet, and
computer systems in general work. With the explosive growth of the
internet and its popularity, more and more new users are "getting
online" and becoming targets for pranksters. "Ancient" myths, like the
cookie story, are just waiting for a critical mass of people who have
not been exposed, so that they can go streaming across the net again.
There is no technical solution to this problem. Even when users users
become experienced enough to be able to tell a silly message when they
see one, anyone can get suckered sometimes. It seems that all users of
the internet will have to put up with a certain amount of nonsense.
Right now, these messages are only an annoyance, but it is only a
matter of time before someone's` reputation, career or bank account is
ruined by some out of control e-mail message.
