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.

At first I thought it might occur during the 400+ years between the Old 
and New Testaments, but the Battle of Plataea occurred in 479 BC and 
Malachi was written about 435 BC, so I don't know.
