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.

mantis,

Hooray for you! I love it, I love it! I had already picked up the MP
connection from the first sentence of "Fifth Head," as I'm sure you did
too, from the French names on Ste. Anne, and from Phaedria, who is
described almost exactly as Albertine is and with whom the relationship is
similar. So I looked through "Fifth Head" to find the Delages without
success---it didn't occur to me to go to the source.

I ciliate your mandibles in reverent homage!
