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.

Hmm. Actually, the cut-throat is a kind of trout. Dunno why I never thought
of that before (I guess I needed the amphibious hint to get me to jump to
this conclusion). So you might say that Cut-throat is a fish out of water.
