This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

You left out "The Death of the Island Doctor".  And the first one is titled
"The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories".  The canonical source for
the first three is a book called "The Island of Doctor Death and Other
Stories and Other Stories".  I forget the title of the book containing all
four.
