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.

Not to go too off-topic, but have you seen The Devil's Backbone? It's
one of del Toro's earlier films, and I think much more morally and
thematically interesting than Pan's Labyrinth. The plots also tie
together in a slight way...
