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.

Perhaps that discussion occurred during the Missing Year.

The details centered around the Mamelta appearance and Silk's dream in which
Mamelta, Marble, and Hyacinth's appearance (in Hy's case, Kypris said explicitly
that she used to look like her) are confabulated. I wish I could remember every
reference put forward right now, but I can't. 
The theory is not beyond the realm of deniability, but frankly I found it brought
so much into focus that I didn't understand about the book that I was convinced.
And subsequent realizations regarding the text confirmed it.

Maybe someone has the original emails and can repost them?
