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.

mantis, do you think that little girl could have grown up to be Thais? We
know nothing about Thais except that she is tall, dark and hollow-cheeked,
and shows good sense in bailing...no, I guess Thais is too young. The girl
would be at least 60.

But---here's the kind of thing you like!---Urth, p 315, Severian muses on
looking like a cutthroat!
