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.

Hello,
?
I've noticed that in chapter 12 (p95) Bax refers to " a pheasant sitting on the limb of a pine", when he describes a dress he bought as a gift for "Winkle Inari". 
On the Trump (17) of the "Tarot de Marseille" which is The Star there's such a picture of a bird on a tree. I find it hard to believe that Bax's depiction of the dress doesn't have a hidden purpose, and the association with this trump ("L'Etoile") fits quite well.
Since Chapter 18 was already linked with the Star (because of lycanthropy, although?I just can't see why lycanthropy and the Star shall have anything in common) this seems to weaken the case of a one-to-one association beetween chapters and Trumps.
