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.

As much as I like Wolfe, I will never understand his sense of humor. Perhaps
it's a joke on US? Apparently he doesn't read the Urth list, but surely he
knows how we go after the strangest and smallest things when we read his
books. What kind of dressing goes well with red herrings?
