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.

Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.
