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.

Wolfe told me in 2002 that his original plan was to write a whole bunch of
'Soldier' books, but that after the second, his publisher told him there
was no market for them. But by 2002 his publisher had changed his mind
about that, and he promised 'Sidon' after WK was done (which happened).

I imagine he will go back to his original plan.
