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.

Nicely done, Roy. Just one point I would add...

Very true, and this also provides aid and comfort to my point that
Scylla is not "the same" as Cilinia - that she most likely has grown,
or at least changed, over the three centuries of the _Whorl_'s
voyage.
