If someone sends a message that seems to be in questionable taste or of dubious relevance to the list, please do NOT send a complaint or comment to the whole list.

Contact the listowner instead.

Can I send attachments to AICAFMHA lists?
Yes. However we do ask that attachments are kept to a minimum and of small file size. If you post a message with an attachment, you need to be aware that some people will not be able to access the attachment because of differences in file coding methods used by different mail programs.

Does AICAFMHA sell email addresses?
AICAFMHA will not pass on or sell your email address to any other organisation, commercial or otherwise. Similarly, list subscribers and non-subscribers are not able to access the email addresses of other subscribers. View the AICAFMHA Privacy Statement for further information.

Have you heard about this virus?
Please don't forward any message about viruses to your list. Most warning messages about viruses are hoaxes and can cause a lot of confusion. Examples of hoax viruses include: "Pen Pals", "Good Times", "Trojan", "Join the Crew", "Red Alert", etc. If we need to warn people about a virus we will email the lists.

Can I get a virus from an email message?
You CANNOT get a virus from a plain text email message.
If the message has an attachment such as a word-processed document, or a spreadsheet, this has the potential to contain a virus which could damage other documents, spreadsheets etc.
