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.

It also fits with Jonas's description of names from his time which were similat to modern-day Chinese names.

OFC 'Jonas' is not very Chinese.

  (The name of Jonas' ship.) This may well have been pointed out a gadzillion years ago, but I don't remember ever seeing it. Apparently a "lucky cloud" is a very common traditional Chinese image. It was used extensively for the Beijing Olympics: eg http://colorbuzz.valsparblog.com/2008/08/the-lucky-cloud.html
