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.

Whatever the mechanism, the reference to Joseph's dream makes it pretty 
clear to me that he is correct in his feeling that it comes from the 
Increate, like Joseph always claims of his gift of divination.
