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.

Wombat,

Ah, what colour is the stamp?(!)

Well, if they are reporting that a second 1856 1-penny stamp has been
found, it must be magenta.  Wow!  Spooky!  What kind of cancellation
does it have--that is, whose initials?!  (Since they were
hand-canceled with personal initials.)  Where was it "found"?

If the discoverer's name is "Caspar Last," grab tight your chairs,
ladies and jellybeans, because things are going to get very
weird--retroactively and forevermore.

(Of course, you, Wombat, are the Man Who Knew Too Much.  You will
have to be eliminated.  Watch the shadows--trust no one.)
