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.

  Umm... Obvious?   Isn't there a problem with time here?

   Ah!  So that's how you get around this one.  Care to explain why
you think the above are true?

   I had hoped that Wolfe was a great writer.  From this mailing
list he seems to be like one of those hack mystery writers who=20
have the butler just coincidentally be the father of Lord Billings
*and* be the brother-in-law of the deceased.
