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.

What if Wolfe sent you a postcard that said, "Ushas is Urth!"?

Seriously again, there are hints that the Severian in /Short Sun/ is a different 
iteration of
him than the Severian in /New Sun/.  If that's true, there may be no Ushas in 
the world
of the /Short Sun/.  Urth may still be Urth.
