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.

Hrrm.  I assume that if one treats the mailing list as a set of secondary 
sources, and then implements the no-editing template idea, then one could 
just cite the relevant post, summarise its contents and perhaps use an 
unalterable quote when needed.  This might just make the wiki into a 
navigatable index of the mailing list, but I'm not sure that that wouldn't 
be a bad thing to have.
