Edition Information (was Thecla/Hethor)

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.

With the right information for each version, it shouldn't be too hard  
to put together an approximate-page-reference-translator.

Does anyone know of a convenient compilation of edition information?   
For the omnibus editions, breakdown into pages by section would be  
necessary.
