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.

Yeah. To tell you the truth, I was convinced that they were in the
pantry, because you see, the linguistic evidence is obvious: 'pantry'
is pronounced as 'pantree', or 'pan-tree', or pronounced in a guttural
giant voice, 'pan treat', a treat cooked in a pan - and what might
that be but a cookie? Classic Wolfe!

But I guess he fooled me again. :(
