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.

Niman is also a Hopi word meaning "Home-Going". Hopi traditionalists
celebrate a summer-solstice festival by this name, a sort of annual dance of
farewell to the gods. The underlying idea is that the gods will return as
rain.
