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.

I may be missing something, but isn't that episode *before* Horn goes to
green and his body dies there?

I find it easier to picture that the Neighbours are observant enough to know 
that Horn - even before going to Green - is one of the most humanly 
developed inhabitants on Blue and hence able to make such a deal.
