The significance of Apu Punchau

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.

Rich text and HTML are bad for e-mail and make the baby Theoanthropos cry.

Plain text is the original and primary international standard for e-mail 
and the only format guaranteed to be readable by all the recipients.
