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.

I do think Wolfe is being tricky, and that Bill Reis isn't literally
to be found alive on Woldercan of "the present." There are two
possible explanations:

1) Cassie will somehow journey to the Woldercan of the past (during
Bill's time there) and become the ambassador's wife we know so little
about. Plausible, except that
   a) She's no longer beautiful enough to win his heart.
   b) If she tells him of the future that will cause major time paradoxes.

2) What Wolfe meant was that she will go to Woldercan as a first step
on a journey to change the past, allowing her to attempt to save
Bill's life. This fits perfectly
   with my old theory of Margaret Briggs as future Cassie, and it's
the theory I'm sticking too now.
