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 I seem to remember is reading a while ago that this baffled everyone on 
the list for a long time, until Wolfe pointed out this bit.

I wasn't there then so I can't vouch for its truth or otherwise.
