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.

For me, of course, this is an argument against the woman being 
Catherine. I'm sticking to my Catherine = Ouen's sister story, at 
least until I make up one I like better :)

As to who this woman is: no idea! But shortly after we hear Valeria 
being told that the cacogens have landed a man and a woman in the 
grounds of the House Absolute. Maybe ...?
