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.

I imagine the lining as red, but that might be from one cover or  
another.  I never imagined the exterior as ornamented.

For some reason "red embroidery on the cloak" makes me think of a  
mechanic's shirt, with "Leonard" or whatever stitched above the  
pocket.  I love the idea of "Severian" being stitched on the cloak.   
Maybe it's like a bowling league shirt, with "Citadel Pin-Pushers" and  
the logo (a rose, a fountain, a bowling pin?) on the back?  I need a  
weekend.
