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.

John,

I haven't read "Junie Moon" but "White Cow Moon" is almost certainly a reference to Io (who was the moon). 

She was one of Zeus's rape victims. In order to hide her from persuing Hera (Juno), he changed her into a heifer ("virgin horned one"). Hera, being suspicious, had Argus watch over her in case Zeus tried to change her back. Zeus sent his son Hermes to kill Argus (which he did by severing his neck with a curved blade). Then Hera cursed Io to wander the Earth forever.

She became the great great great [whatever] grandmother of Hercules and Perseus.
