I frequently find myself in need of memory jogging regarding mod_rewrite.

The other day we had a power outage at home and - since the demise of my ancient UPS - all the machines went down hard.
Since then, I've been unable to connect to a particular netatalk share. The "Connect to server" tool on Mac OS X Panther 10.3.7 would accept my login, but then the Finder would hang with the spinning beachball of doom.
The only escape seemed to be a hard reboot.

Unless you're familiar with the way that web addresses ('URLs') work, at first sight the following email looks like a legitimate request from the Nationwide Building Society for you to supply them personal information about your account. But it isn't that at all...
