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.

There is an interesting homage to Severian and necromancy of a sort  
in Sidon (I know there was some in Mist too) in that his presence  
reanimates Sabra, the wax woman. Is there some Greek or foreign myth  
that parallels this reanimation myth that Wolfe would include in Sidon?
