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.

Well, I *do* think that the Faeri stuff occurred, but (let's face it)
if Bax is lying about Faeri then he's lying about having found their
mom.

But again, how does Mrs Murray come into Bax's con if not in the way
he described? Why did she will him the house (or to George if that's
who she thought she was)?
