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.

I think shapeshifting works best if left to the order of creature that 
Tzadkiel is. Father Inire needn't change shape, because his human 
appearance is artificial, and can be changed to suit. Perhaps he wears 
human bodies drawn from a collection, similar to the way someone 
suggested the Cumaean inhabits a succession of them?
